Antoine Vandevenne (anv) 8722ea902e [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.

=================================
Record exchange rates at payments
=================================
Overview
========
Any company doing international trade faces the case where the payments
are in a different currency.
After receiving their payments, you have the option to convert the
amount into your company currency. Multi currency payment implies rates
fluctuations. The rate differences are automatically recorded by Odoo.
Configuration
=============
Enable multi-currencies
-----------------------
In the accounting module, Go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`
and flag **Allow multi currencies**, then click on **apply**.
.. image:: exchange/exchange_rate03.png
:align: center
Configure the currency rates in :menuselection:`Configuration --> Currencies`.
Write down the rate and make sure the currency is active.
.. image:: exchange/exchange_rate02.png
:align: center
In this document, the base currency is **Euro** and we will record payments
in **Dollars**.
.. image:: exchange/exchange_rate08.png
:align: center
.. tip::
You can automatically fetch the currency rates from the **European
Central Bank** or from **Yahoo**. Please read the document :
:doc:`how_it_works`.
Configure your journal
----------------------
In order to register payments in other currencies, you have to **remove
the currency constraint** on the journal. Go to the accounting
application, Click on **More** on the journal and **Settings**.
.. image:: exchange/exchange_rate06.png
:align: center
Check if the **Currency** field is empty or in the foreign currency in which
you will register the payments. If a currency is filled in, it means
that you can register payments only in this currency.

Record a payment in a different currency
========================================
In the **Accounting** application, go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Payments`.
Register the payment and indicate that it was done in the foreign currency. Then
click on **confirm**.
.. image:: exchange/exchange_rate05.png
:align: center
The journal entry has been posted but not allocated.
Go back to your invoice (:menuselection:`Sales --> Customer Invoices`) and click on
**Add** to allocate the payment.
.. image:: exchange/exchange_rate04.png
:align: center
Record a bank statement in a different currency
===============================================
Create or import the bank statement of your payment. The **Amount** is in
the company currency. There are two complementary fields, the **Amount currency**,
which is the amount that was actually paid and the **Currency** in which it was paid.
.. image:: exchange/exchange_rate07.png
:align: center
When reconciling it, Odoo will directly match the payment with the right
**Invoice**. You will get the invoice price in the invoice currency and the
amount in your company currency.

Check the exchange rate differences
===================================
Go to :menuselection:`Adviser --> Journal Entries` and look for the **Exchange difference**
journal entries. All the exchange rates differences are recorded in it.
.. image:: exchange/exchange_rate01.png
:align: center
.. tip::
The Exchange difference journal can be changed in your accounting settings.
