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.
