Global Dynamic Approval Flow — Unified approval system for Odoo

What is Global Dynamic Approval Flow?

Global Dynamic Approval Flow is an Odoo module that provides a centralized approval management system for four core business documents — Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Customer and Vendor Invoices, and Expense Reports — all from a single unified configuration. Instead of installing separate approval modules for each document type or relying on Odoo's basic confirm-and-approve workflows, this module gives you one place to define approver roles, build multi-level approval routes with amount-based or non-amount-based conditions, set auto-approval deadlines, and manage email notifications across your entire approval ecosystem.

Multi-level sequential approvals
Amount threshold routing

How Global Dynamic Approval Flow Solves Odoo Approval Workflow Gaps

Problem
Zehntech Solution
Separate approval logic needed for sales, purchases, expenses, and invoices
One unified module manages approval workflows for all four document types
All documents route to the same approver regardless of value or type
Configurable approval routes based on amount thresholds and document type
No multi-level approval chain for high-value orders or invoices
Sequential multi-approver routes ensure proper authority chain
Approvers sit on pending requests, blocking operations
Scheduled auto-approvals advance documents after configurable deadline
Document creators have no visibility into approval progress
Auto status updates reflect real-time approver actions
Manual email follow-ups needed to notify approvers
Automated email notifications at every approval stage
Setting up approval hierarchies requires custom development
Pre-built global approver roles apply across all document types
Small purchases and large expenses follow identical approval paths
Amount-based routing scales approval effort with document value
Changing approval rules means modifying code in multiple places
Customizable routes and roles updated through interface, applied globally

Complete Centralized Approval Automation for Odoo

1

Unified Approval System for Four Document Types

A single module manages approval workflows for Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Customer and Vendor Invoices, and Expense Reports. Configure your approval rules once and enforce them consistently across every business transaction.

Why it matters: Eliminates the need to install, configure, and maintain separate approval modules for each document type.

2

Predefined & Customizable Approver Roles

The module ships with pre-built approver roles ready to use upon installation. Create additional custom roles aligned with your organization's specific hierarchy — department heads, finance controllers, procurement managers, or any authority level.

Why it matters: Your approval structure mirrors your actual organizational chart without custom development.

3

Configurable Multi-Level Approval Routes

Build approval routes that define the exact sequence of approvers a document must pass through before final authorization. Each route can include multiple stages with different approver roles, creating true multi-level approval chains.

Why it matters: High-value transactions get the oversight they require while routine operations move through faster paths.

4

Amount-Based Approval Thresholds

Define approval routes that activate based on document value. Route low-value transactions through a simplified path while directing high-value orders, invoices, or expenses through progressively more senior approvers.

Why it matters: Approval effort scales proportionally with financial risk — a $200 office supply purchase does not require the same process as a $50,000 vendor invoice.

5

Scheduled Auto-Approvals

Configure a deadline (in days) for each approval stage. If an approver does not act within the specified timeframe, the system automatically advances the document to the next stage or transitions it to approved status.

Why it matters: No single unresponsive approver can indefinitely block purchase orders, sales confirmations, invoice processing, or employee reimbursements.

6

Email Notifications at Every Approval Stage

Automated email notifications reach relevant parties — document creators, current approvers, and next-in-sequence approvers — at each stage of the approval process across all four document types.

Why it matters: Everyone stays informed without manual follow-up, reducing status inquiries to zero and accelerating response times.

7

Auto Status Updates

Document forms display live approval status reflecting each approver's real-time action or deadline-triggered transition. At a glance, anyone authorized can see who has approved, who is currently reviewing, and what stage the document is at.

Why it matters: Complete audit trail and transparency eliminate confusion about approval progress across all business documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

The module covers four core business documents: Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Customer and Vendor Invoices, and Expense Reports. All four document types are managed from a single unified configuration — no separate modules required. Approval routes, roles, and rules defined once apply consistently across all covered documents.
Yes — the module supports amount-based approval thresholds for all four document types. You can define routes that trigger based on document value (e.g., purchase orders under $1,000 vs. above $10,000). Routes can also operate without amount limits for universal application regardless of document value.
The module includes scheduled auto-approvals with configurable deadlines per approval stage. If an approver does not act within the specified number of days, the system automatically advances the document to the next stage or marks it approved. This applies across all four document types — no single unresponsive approver can block sales, purchases, invoicing, or expense reimbursement.
No — Global Dynamic Approval Flow is a single module that handles all four document types together. You install once, configure your global approver roles and routes, and the system applies them across Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Invoices, and Expenses simultaneously. If you only need approval for one specific document type, Zehntech also offers individual modules.
Yes — the module comes with predefined roles ready on installation, but you can create unlimited custom roles. Each role can be assigned to specific users and included in approval routes across all four document types. Roles can represent any level in your hierarchy: team lead, department head, procurement lead, finance controller, VP, or CEO.
