Purchase Create Bill Button

This module restores the direct "Create Bill" button on purchase order forms that was available in earlier Odoo versions but was removed in the v18 to v19 migration by Odoo core.

It adds a button in the header of the purchase order form to quickly create a vendor bill directly from the purchase order.

Use Cases / Context

Business need: In previous Odoo versions, users could create a vendor bill directly from a purchase order with a single click using a dedicated button in the form header. Starting from Odoo v19, this button was removed from the core purchase module, forcing users to directly upload the invoice file.

Approach: This module adds back the "Create Bill" button in the purchase order form by inheriting the purchase.purchase_order_form view and inserting the button in the same position, right after the existing action buttons. It respects the same visibility conditions based on the order state and invoice status.

Useful information: This module only depends on the core purchase module, making it lightweight and easy to install. It is compatible with any other module that extends purchase order functionality.

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

1. Go to Purchases > Orders > Purchase Orders.
2. Open or create a purchase order.
3. Once the purchase order is confirmed (in Purchase state), a Create Bill button will appear in the form header.
4. Click Create Bill to generate the vendor bill directly from the purchase order.
