Creating the invoice earlier is not appropriate because invoice moves
should be create at the right time in accounting. We cannot say in the
official accounting that we owe money to somebody when it is not true.

This is what I proposed to the accountant but he simply does not want
to. The reason is that he does not want to mix their analytic needs
with official accounting which is subject to inspection by tax
authorities. This sounds like "I'm going to cheat" but it really is
not the case, at least for this customer. It is more a need for a
separating two things that simply do not always need to go together.
I also agree that the creation of analytic moves must be unlinked from
accounting. Albert has explained two scenarios where it is necessary.
Another common scenario is in companies that work with projects and
timesheets but they don't want to invoice from timesheets. They want to
track the cost of the timesheet lines of their employees using analytic
with no relation to accounting.
And also I agree to make the required move_line field in
analytic_account.line with validate() instead of an SQL constraint.
