Approval All in One
This module allows you to set a approval flow for model which defined in another modules. There a new option in Approval Type "Apply for model?". Tick it, a new option "Model Setting" will be displayed.
From above picture, a purchase order which has a total amount > 5,000$, must be approved by purchase manager. I set up like below:
Model: I choose Purchase Order, it links to ir.model.
Domain: It means that, when an order changes its state to to_approve: if its total amount > 5000, it must be approved by Purchase Manager.
Hide Buttons from Model View?: tick this option to hide all buttons on Purchase form view when an order is waiting for approval, only 2 button Approve and Refuse are displayed .
Approved Action: it's technical field - python code, when an order is approved, the function record.button_approve() will be executed automatically.
Refused Action: It's technical field too, but is call when an order is refused.
Example:
I log in as a purchaser, and create a new purchase order to buy 5 large desk, the total amount is 8,977.40 $.
I will confirm it by clicking on button "Confirm Order"
You can see its state changed to "To Approve" and a new button "Request Approval" as well as a new message, are shown.
Now, i will click on "Request Approval", and a new popup displayed:
All data are filled automatically, you could update them. Then, click on button "Submit Request". A new request is created and shown as below:
I cannot see 2 button: Approve, and, Refuse. Because i'm login as a purchaser. Let's come back to Purchase form view:
I can only see a button "View Approval" ( because the option "Hide buttons from Model View?" of Approval type is on ), this button will open a request form view.
Now, let me log out and log in again as Purchase Manager. Check menu Approvals | Approvals | To Review
You can see that, i have 1 request to review. Open it:
Now, purchase manager can see 2 button: Approve, and, Refuse. Let me approve this request. Come back to purchase form view, you can see like this:
Its state change from "To Approve" to "Purchase order", and many buttons are displayed.

Do I just need to buy Odoo Approval All in One to use the full functionality of the three modules Odoo Approval, HR Extension, All in One, or do I need to buy these three modules separately?
Re: Do I just need to buy Odoo Approval All in One to use the full functionality of the three modules Odoo Approval, HR Extension, All in One, or do I need to buy these three modules separately?
"All in one" depends on others. When you buy this one, it adds other as well.

Can't test demo website
Hello
I can't open demo website ?
I test sequential approval ok but can u add more user demo. I want test after Manager approved, user can change document ?
Ty
I have the same question as David, app can sequential approval ?
In CRM a have a lot of Stages, ex: Stages1 (need Manager1 approval) -> Stages2 (Man2 approval) -> Stages3 (GD apprapval) -> Final.
----------------------------------
Hi,
This module is very interesting.
I would like if it possible to have sequential approval. By that, I mean RFQ->Approver 1 -> Approver 2
In that scenario, Approver2 would only receive the request if Approver1 has already approved.
It seems to my that in the current configuration, you can have 2 approvers, but they receive the notification at the same time and Approver2 can approve even if Approver1 has not approved yet.
Unless, you need the first approval to trigger a new approval, which would approve the RFQ ?
Thanks,
David
Re:
Hello,
The notification will be sent sequentially. You should experience by yourself by visiting https://demo14.domiup.com/

New Version 1.2
Hello,
I have just released a new version 1.2
2020-11-04: version 1.2: Change the approver, cancel request and update description template
* You can watch video demo on youtube Here
Hi All,
I have just released the module https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/13.0/sale_invoice_payment_approval

Regards,
Inquiries
Hi , the new version seems to be excellent , but i have few inquiries
- we are using ODOO 13 Enterprise version (Hosted on odoo.sh), is your product supported on the enterprise version
- I tested the sales orders , and i was wondering if a quotation/sales order which is pending approval , can have its status (or any other field ) stating that it is pending approval , similar to the purchase order process. because now the user has to open each order to know if he submitted it for approval or not
- will the approver be notified by email for approving a document, or only in the odoo notifications. similarly can the user be notified by email when the order is approved
- can we modify the template of the approval message to include some additional details , like the customer name and total order amount of a sales order
- if we need some customizations after we purchase the app , would you assist with that
Regards
Re: Inquiries
- This module works well on the enterprise version, but may conflict with the native Approval from Odoo.
- For the sale order, you can search for some modules (OCA, OCB,..) which adds new State "To approval" same as the Purchase order. This module will combine with them perfectly.
- Notification is not sent because that may bother the user. But, you can deal with it by creating a new automation from the menu Settings | Technical | Automation | Automatic Actions. There may be an example from Odoo runbot, you can have a look!

We will definitely be interested in buying the app and replacing all standard approvals in the system if this can allow multiple approvals per model . Once this feature is available please contact me to check it out. Thanks

Multiple approvals for the same model
Hi ,
I would like to know if your app supports multiple approvals for the same model
we have multiple companies and branches , and we want to assign different approvers for each company and for each branch (or by any other criteria)
I have tried the live demo above , and when i tried to create an approval for the sales order , i got an error saying that there is already one approval created for the sales order model
finally is this app available for odoo 13 enterprise version ?
Re: Multiple approvals for the same model
Hi Hany,
You just told me a good point which i may add to the feature list of this module in the coming weeks: multiple approvals for the same model.
This module works well in enterprise version. Note that you don't need native approval module from Odoo, they may conflict on each other.

Hi Kewin,
I don't know why the hyperlink is broken in my previous comment. check the link below:
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/faq

Re:
You cannot!
Please check the policy from odoo:
Do I have to buy my module for each version?
Do you have the version for odoo12 community version?
Re:
