I think option B is good. 
My documentation to the supplier is the purchase order which includes shipping info. When they have confirmed I can "receive" the product. 

The good thing with option A, as I see it, is that invoice control could be implemented in a more flexible matter and more inline as how OpenERP works already. 

But if we assume manual invoice control or prepaid invoice settings then option B would be the cleanest implementation I think
