Jonathan Castillo (jcs) 9ab23b7456 [IMP] contributing: modify titles and headings guidelines
The previous guidelines for titles and headings included an exception to
capitalize feature names as they are written in the apps. However, this
exception seems to have confused most writers as it isn't always clear
what should be considered as a feature name or what should be considered
as a noun or noun group. This commit removes this exception to make the
writing and reviewing processes easier while retaining good titles and
improving consistency across the documentation. It also changes the
titles of the Accounting section to provide a better example to other
writers.

==============================================================
Digitize vendor bills with optical character recognition (OCR)
==============================================================
Encoding bills manually can be a time-consuming task. Having a solution that allows you to digitize
them and automatically import the data into your database reduces errors and saves you time.
.. important::
`Try it out <https://www.odoo.com/app/invoice-automation>`_! Upload one of your Bills or try one of our samples.
Set up the feature
==================
Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Settings --> Bill Digitalization`, and choose whether the bills
should be processed automatically (with OCR) or manually (on demand).

Start digitizing your bills
---------------------------
Scan your bills and then go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Vendors --> Bills` and upload your
document. Based on your configuration, it either processes the documents automatically, or you
need to click on *Send for Digitalization* to do it manually.
.. tip::
You can also create a vendor bill through the *Documents* app or by using an email alias on your
journals.
Once the data is extracted from the PDF, you can correct it if necessary by clicking on the
respective tag (available in *Edit* mode), and selecting the right information instead.

.. note::
The more bills you scan, the better the system gets at identifying the correct data.
Pricing
=======
| The *Bill Digitalization* is an *In-App Purchase (IAP)* service which requires prepaid credits to
work. Digitizing one document consumes one credit.
| To buy credits, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings --> Bill
Digitalization` and click on *Buy credits*, or go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Odoo IAP` and
click on *View My Services*.
.. important::

credits to test the feature.
