[IMP] Inventory: Rewrite aging report as stock valuation report

[benderliz]

This doc has been rewritten to address the following:

• The Inventory Aging Report doc is no longer needed because this report was combined into the Stock Valuation Report (in the pivot view).
• The Stock Valuation Report, by default, is in list view. This doc overwrites the Inventory Aging Report to instead focus primarily on the Stock Valuation Report list view, including all the updated/new fields shown in this view.
• Parts of the former Inventory Aging Report are still covered in the Stock Aging Report section.
• A section was added to described the graph view of this report.
• A few other sections were added to describe important contextual information about stock valuation and how it is calculated (e.g. perpetual vs. periodic accounting, SVLs)

Hi @dikd-odoo - I am noticing a lot of little rendering issues in the runbot. Please hold off on this...will try to resolve these now and push up a new commit! Stay tuned B)

Note to @dikd-odoo and to self - I see in the runbot I need to edit the graph icon's guilabel!

Hi @benderliz phenomenal job on this PR! This was a solid breakdown of Stock valuation reports, something I had no idea about going into my review but can now confidently pull and configure in Odoo. The flow worked perfectly as stated, so most of my suggestions are content-based and have to do with matching the format and writing style that I've seen so far in the documentation. Once you've taken a look at these (optional) edits, this is ready to move to final review.

Hi @dikd-odoo thank you SO much for this exemplary review! I really appreciated your stylistic suggestions and implemented many of them. The reminder of the doc structure (definition -> use case -> implementation) was really helpful as well. I learned a lot from you!

Tagging @Felicious for final review!

Wonderful document, @benderliz!

This is such a comprehensive and easy-to-understand explanation of a complex topic. The way you structured the information and provided detailed yet concise explanations of inventory valuation, accounting methods, and stock move lines was truly impressive. Your engaging writing made this a joy to read!

I'm so proud of the work you've done here. I left a few comments for you to review—feel free to consider them if they add value or provide relevant business context or Odoo software details.

I noticed you missed adding the points tag in the label, so I assigned it for you. (Just a reminder for next time—we don’t want you to miss out on credit for your amazing work!) Normally, I’d assign 3 points for a content rework, but since you introduced essential explanations about SVLs not covered elsewhere and expanded on the inventory valuation dashboard, this deserves a full ✨ 5 points ✨. You've breathed new life into the inventory aging report doc, creating a fantastic resource for customers learning about inventory valuation.

Next steps: Let's review the other two inventory valuation docs— Using Inventory Valuation and Automatic Inventory Valuation —to address duplicate information and incorporate feedback from a Belgium expert. I’ll share updates soon.

Amazing job, Liz—keep up the fantastic work! 🎉❤️

Felicia, thank you SO much for the detailed review!! Your comments helped me see a few things from a more user-centric standpoint (like the valuation date change section) and also reminded me of some Odoo conventions (I actually wasn't aware of the purpose of the RST abbreviations convention; now I know to use that!) ❤️ Thanks also for assigning points - still need to get in the habit of doing these things to track my work.

I think this doc is looking great and will hopefully help some inventory managers! :)

I see Sam is out today. Is there someone else who can do tech review, or will this need to wait til next week?

Thank you!

[benderliz]

Hi @StraubCreative! Felicia advised me that, since Sam is out, you can do a more tech-focused review of this PR? She and Dina did a great job peer reviewing, so hopefully this one isn't too time intensive. Thank you!

Hi @benderliz! Great work on the overhaul of this doc! I have a couple technical changes I caught in my review. Please address these, and double check the formatting of the doc in the built html after the checks pass. Approving now, thank you for your work!
