Ships with predefined approver roles and allows administrators to create unlimited custom roles that match their organization's hierarchy — from department heads to finance directors to C-level executives.
Why it matters: Your approval structure mirrors your real organizational chart instead of forcing teams into a one-size-fits-all workflow.
Define approval routes that trigger based on purchase order value. Low-value POs follow a streamlined path while high-value orders require additional sign-offs from senior stakeholders.
Why it matters: Procurement governance scales with spend — routine purchases move fast while significant expenditures receive appropriate scrutiny.
Configure a deadline (in days) after which a pending approval is automatically marked as approved and the next approver in the chain is notified.
Why it matters: A single unavailable approver no longer blocks the entire procurement pipeline, preventing costly delays in supply chain operations.
When a purchase order is confirmed, the system sends email notifications to designated approvers and the PO creator. Notifications fire at each stage transition throughout the approval chain.
Why it matters: Approvers never miss a pending action, and PO creators have continuous visibility into their order's progress without manually checking status.
Each approver's status updates automatically based on their actions or when auto-approval deadlines trigger. The current state of every approval step is visible directly on the purchase order form.
Why it matters: Procurement teams, managers, and finance staff can instantly see where any PO sits in the approval process without sending follow-up messages.
Build approval routes with multiple sequential steps where each approver must complete their review before the next is notified. Define the exact sequence that matches your governance requirements.
Why it matters: Complex procurement policies with layered authorization levels are enforced consistently across every purchase order without manual coordination.
The system automatically identifies the correct approval route for each purchase order based on its total amount against configured thresholds. No manual route assignment needed after initial setup.
Why it matters: Human error in routing decisions is eliminated — every PO automatically follows the path defined by your spending policies.
Supports Odoo 16, 17, 18, and 19 on both Community and Enterprise editions, with full compatibility across Odoo Online, Odoo.sh, and On-Premise deployments.
Why it matters: Organizations can implement structured PO approvals regardless of their Odoo version or hosting environment, with a clear upgrade path as they move to newer releases.
