How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Biography of the First
Lady of the Philippines
(1969)
4. [1a] He went to where Miss Mijares sat, a tall, big man,
walking with an economy of movement, graceful and
light, a man who knew his body and used it well. He
sat in the low chair worn decrepit by countless other
interviewers and laid all ten fingerprints carefully on
the edge of her desk.
5. [4] Where she sat alone at one of the cafeteria tables,
Miss Mijares did not look 34. She was slight, almost
bony, but she had learned early how to dress herself to
achieve an illusion of hips and bosom. She liked poufs
and shirrings and little girlish pastel colors. On her
bodice, astride or lengthwise, there sat an inevitable
row of thick camouflaging ruffles that made her look
almost as though she had a bosom, if she bent her
shoulders slightly and inconspicuously drew her
neckline open to puff some air into her bodice.
6. [5] Her brow was smooth and clear and she was always
pushing off it the hair she kept in tight curls at night.
She had thin cheeks, small and angular, falling down
to what would have been a nondescript, receding chin,
but Nature’s hand had erred and given her a jaw
instead. When displeased, she had a lippy, almost
sensual pout, surprising on such a small face.
7. [6] So while not exactly an ugly woman, she was no
beauty. She teetered precariously on the border line to
which belonged countless others who you found, if
they were not working at some job, in the kitchen of
some married sister’s house shushing a brood of
devilish little nephews.
8. [13a] In his hands, he held her paperweight, an old gift
from long ago, a heavy wooden block on which stood,
as though poised for flight, an undistinguished, badly
done bird. It had come apart recently. The screws
beneath the block loosened so that lately it had stood
upon her desk with one wing tilted unevenly, a
miniature eagle or swallow?
9. [14] He had turned it and with a penknife tightened the
screws and dusted it. In this man’s hands, cupped like
that, it looked suddenly like a dove.
[15] She took it away from him and put it down on her
table. Then she picked up his paper and read it.
[16] He was a high school graduate. He was also a
carpenter.
10. [3] When she talked with the jobless across her desk,
asking them the damning questions that completed
their humiliation, watching pale tongues run over dry
lips, dirt crusted handkerchiefs flutter in trembling
hands, she was filled with an impatience she could not
understand. Sign here, she had said thousands of
times, pushing the familiar form across, her finger
held to a line, feeling the impatience grow at sight of
the man or woman tracing a wavering “X” or laying the
impress of a thumb. Invariably, Miss Mijares would
turn away to tough the delicate edge of the
handkerchief she wore on her breast.
11. [18] “I heard about this place,” he said, ‘from a friend you
got a job at the pier.” Seated, he towered over her, “I’m
not starving yet,” he said with a quick smile. “I still got
some money from that last job, but my team broke up
after that and you got too many jobs if you’re working
alone. You know carpentering,” he continued, “you
can’t finish a job quickly enough if you got to do the
planing and sawing and nailing all by your lone self.
You got to be on a team.”
12. [19] Perhaps he was not meaning to be impolite? But for
a jobseeker, Miss Mijares thought, he talked too much
and without call. He was bursting all over with an
obtruding insolence that at once disarmed and
annoyed her.
13. [27] “Ato says I have you to thank,” he said, stopping Miss
Mijares along a pathway in the compound.
[28] It was noon, that unhappy hour of the day when she
was oldest, tiredest, when it seemed the sun put forth
cruel fingers to search out the signs of age on her thin,
pinched face. The crow’s feet showed unmistakably
beneath her eyes and she smiled widely to cover them
up and acquainting a little, said, “Only a half peso –
Ato would have given it to you eventually.”
14. [29] “Yes, but you spoke for me,” he said, his big body
heaving before her. “Thank you, though I don’t need it
as badly as the rest, for to look at me, you would knew
I have no wife --- yet.”
[30] She looked at him sharply, feeling the malice in his
voice. “I’d do it for any one,” she said and turned away,
angry and also ashamed, as though he had found out
suddenly that the ruffles on her dress rested on a flat
chest.

16. The wooden bird paperweight
In English romanticism and poetry, birds symbolize
sacrifice, change of fortune, or purity and innocence.
In The Virgin, the “undistinguished, badly done
bird” could convey several meanings between Miss
Mijares and the man. For Miss Mijares, it could pertain
to her life as an unfulfilled woman, being virgin and
unmarried at the age of 34. “It suddenly looked like a
dove” conveys the hope, love, promise that Miss Mijares
might expect from the man.
For the man, it could mean that he has finally come
to take Miss Mijares’s purity and realize her “secret,
short-lived thoughts” about love, as shown when he
“tightened the screws and dusted it”.
17. Jeepney’s detour
The jeepney’s detour on several occasions as Miss
Mijares heads home suggests a diversion of route.
According to an online dream interpreter, to see a
detour in one’s dream suggests that one has
encountered an obstacle in some aspect of his/her life.
He/She may not want to confront something directly,
and thus is trying to find a way around it.
Miss Mijares could not admit openly (or maybe
even to herself) that her physical need in “secret,
short-lived thoughts” on love is burning her within,
and so she masks it with an aloof, superior attitude.
18. The dream of being lost
To dream that you are lost suggests that you have lost your
direction in life or that you have lost sight of your goals. You
may be feeling worried and insecure about the path you are
taking in life.
(http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/l3.html)
In this symbol, Miss Mijares is shown as someone who,
because of other priorities in life, have lost sight of her dream
of becoming a mother and a wife.
19. The rainstorm
Rain is a symbol that holds varied meanings.
Emotionally, rain symbolizes tears, sadness,
frustration. On the other hand, it could also mean
cleansing, washing away of sadness and rebirth, since
rain nourishes humans, crops and animals. It's a
symbol of taking away the dark and the old to make
way for new things. This is also seen as a symbol of
change in some circumstances.
When, during a rainy afternoon that both of them
were stranded in an unfamiliar, dark street, Miss
Mijares, driven by her feelings and emotion, finally
gave in to the man’s invitation.
20. The virginal state of Miss Mijares
In the Filipino cultural context, virginity (or
chastity) for unmarried woman is virtuous. It is an
acceptable norm. However, the author portrays Miss
Mijares as a “victim” and not as someone who is happy
in such a virtuous state. This is shown as she reflects
on her virginal state “with a mixture of shame and
bitterness and guilt”.
21. Women as dutiful daughters
In almost all cultures, both sons and daughters are
expected to be dutiful to their parents. However,
women are expected to be “extra” dutiful in terms of
personal sacrifice, often bearing it in silence and
solitude.
Miss Mijares sacrificed her youth in order to put
her niece into college and take care of an ailing, dying
mother. In the end, she was left with no mother and no
lover.
22. [last] In her secret heart, Miss Mijares’ young dreams
fluttered faintly to life, seeming monstrous in the rain,
near this man --- seeming monstrous but sweet
overwhelming. I must get away, she thought wildly, but
he had moved and brushed against her, and where his
touch had fallen, her flesh leaped, and she recalled
how his hands had looked that first day, lain tenderly
on the edge of her desk and about the wooden bird
(that had looked like a moving, shining dove) and she
turned to him with her ruffles wet and wilted, in the
dark she turned to him.
23. …and she turned to him with her ruffles
wet and wilted, in the dark she turned
to him.
Editor's Notes
Written in 1952, award-winning story (Philippine Free Press Literary Awards and Palanca Awards)
Feminism is anti-essentialism; response in the mechanisms of patriarchy; realise the significance of women; socialisation; steroetype roles and images of females.
Let us study the chunking of sentences. The first sentence is comma splice. But one of the characteristics of feminist writing is the looseness of sentences and lack of firmness in chunking sentences and phrases, rather than carefully balanced and patterned as in male prose [ Beginning Theory, Peter Barry].(all commas)
Take note of the character’s differences in terms of physical description
Notice the social gap between the two highlighted in this exchange. Miss Mijares – the one in-charge, college grad, educated; and the man – coarse, inferior, high school grad and jobless
The man is increasingly becoming confident that Miss Mijares is giving him attention, importance and preference.
Let us distinguish the words attributed to each character, and how these words delineated Miss Mijares and the man.
According to a blogspot on Philippine Literature, there are singularities in the story that suggest eroticism in its theme. Written in 1952, The Virgin was quite explicit for it’s time, and the foregrounding of a woman’s sexuality is also rather advanced of its time.
Miss Mijares finally gave in. The rain symbolizes unpredictability, an irresistible force.
Is Miss Mijares triumphant in subversing the prevailing value system of socialisation? Is she sympathetic to the value system or to its overturning?
Wet and wilted, ruffles…Miss Mijares is still a pathetic character.
