Antoine Vandevenne (anv) 4649c3f8d1 [MOV] content/*: move resource files into their related page's directory
Since odoo/documentation#903, the guideline for the location of new
resource (images, downloadable files, RST includes...) files is to place
those inside the directory of the RST page that references them.

For example, if `doc1.rst` has a reference to `image.png` and to
`download.zip`, the file structure should look like this:

├── parent_doc/
│     └── doc1/
│     │     └── image.png
│     │     └── download.zip
│     └── doc1.rst
│     └── doc2.rst
├── parent_doc.rst

Before this commit, most of the resource files were still located inside
'media' directories holding all the resource files referenced by RST
pages located at the same level as these directories. In the example
above, a single 'media' directory would hold all the resource files
referenced by both `doc1.rst` and `doc2.rst`. Doing so prevented us from
figuring out easily which resource file was referenced by which RST page
and, thus, lead to unused resource files piling up in the repository. It
also made it more complicated to define codeowners regex rules because a
team could not simply be assigned to `/some_page.*` but needed to be
assigned to both `/some_page\.rst` and to the location of 'media'.

In order to help new content writers figure out the guideline when
taking examples from other RST pages, this commit retroactively applies
the guideline to existing resource files and 'media' directories. The
left-over resource files that are not referenced by any RST page are
removed.

Bank reconciliation process - use cases
=======================================
Overview
========
Matching your bank statements with your accounting records can be a tedious task. You need to find the corresponding invoices, compare the amounts and partners' details with those in the bank statement. These steps can take a lot of time. Luckily, with Odoo you can very easily match your invoices or any other payment document with your bank statements.
Two options of the reconciliation process exist in Odoo.
1. We can directly specify the payment on the invoice
2. We can reconcile open invoices with bank statements
Configuration
=============
No special configuration is necessary to record invoices. All we need
to do is to install the accounting app.

Use cases
=========
Case 1: Payments registration
-----------------------------
We received the proof of payment of our invoice in the amount of 2100 euros issued to
Smith & Co.
We start at our issued Invoice of 2100 euros for Smith & Co. Because the
sold product is a service we demand an immediate payment. Our accountant
only handles bank statements at the end of week, so we have to mark
this invoice as paid immediately in order to indicate that we can start rendering services to our
customer.
Our customer send us a payment confirmation. We can thus register a
payment and mark the invoice as paid.
.. image:: use_cases/use02.png
:align: center
By clicking on **register payment,** we are telling Odoo that our
customer has paid the Invoice. We thus have to specify the amount and the
payment method.
.. image:: use_cases/use03.png
:align: center
Now we can always find the payment details in the Invoice by clicking on the
:menuselection:`Info --> Open Payment`.
.. image:: use_cases/use04.png
:align: center
The invoice has been paid and **the reconciliation has been done
automatically.**
Case 2: Bank statements reconciliations
---------------------------------------
We start at our issued Invoice of 3000 euros for Smith & Co. Let's also
assume that other Invoices are open for different customers.
.. image:: use_cases/use05.png
:align: center
We receive our bank statement and find that not only the invoice issued to Smith & Co has
been paid, but the one to Buzz of 92 euros as well.
**Import** or **Create** the bank statements. Please refer to the
documents from the Bank Feeds section.
.. image:: use_cases/use06.png
:align: center
On the dashboard, click on **Reconcile # Items**
.. image:: use_cases/use07.png
:align: center
If everything was right (correct partner name, right amount) odoo will
do the reconciliations **automatically**.
.. image:: use_cases/use08.png
:align: center
If some issues are found, you will need to take **manual actions**.
For example, if the partner is missing from your bank statement, just
fill it in :
.. image:: use_cases/use09.png
:align: center
If the payment is done with a down payment, just check if it is all
right and validate all related payments :
