The logic of Direct Supplier Invoicing vs Purchase Orders Path

Question

When I create an invoice from supplier using* Invoicing > * Vendors top menu   Bills Create, even the invoice is complete and paid,  the products purchased quantity does not show in stock.

But when I use the path* Purchase > * Orders top menu Purchase Orders Create, and follow the flow, the purchased products appear in stock.

So is there a way to create a direct invoice and receive the products? If not what is the logic of creating vendor bill?
Thank you.

You can use the vendor bill without purchase orders especially for non-stockable products and expenses.

In Odoo (and in all ERP's) receiving products is a two step process.
1) Receive the boxes in the warehouse and temporarily hold the value you owe the Vendor
2) Receive the Bill in Accounting and move the value to AP.
You can see how each step affects the General Ledger at https://www.odoo.com/documentation/functional/accounting.html [1]
