Title:
  [sale] [stock] Invoicing services using shipping policy different than "Manual invoice"

Status in OpenObject Addons Modules:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Invoicing services using shipping policy "invoice from the packing"
Whenever invoicing services without products, and using shipping policy: "invoice from the packing" - you are not able to invoice the services, because obviously,  services are nonstockable items so those services don't generate packing orders therefore you are not able to generate invoices 

To Replicate this behaviour do the following,

Have an nonstockable item (service) in your product list,
Have a customer to make a New Quotation,
Go to Sale Management
Prepare a New Quotation with customer and add the service,
Make sure shipping policy "invoice from the packing" is been selected
Save & Confirm Order

Go to Stock Management / Outgoing Products
No Packing is shown in the Packing referring to the newly create Sale Order because services are nonstockable items

Go to Financial Management / Invoice / Customer Invoices
No Draft Invoice is been shown because no packing was invoiced

No Way to invoice the service using "invoice from the packing" while there are only services in the Sale Order

I have two proposal to solve this problem 

Proposal One 
Validate the existence of services in the quotation and avoid to proceed with the packing while there are only services in the lines of the quotation, whenever the shipping policy is set to "invoice from the packing"

Proposal Two 
Validate the existence of services in the quotation and while there are only services in the lines generate the draft invoice without going through the picking process

There could be a third proposal,  be aware to select the right shipping policy when invoicing only services, leaving the duty to salespeople
