Demo video: Approvals

What it does

Many companies outgrow the "fixed approval flow" model.

With standard approvals (including Odoo's Approval app), once a request is submitted, the approval route is typically locked. When reality changes, teams usually face an unpleasant choice:

  • Cancel and re-submit just to add a missing approver (wasting time and losing momentum)
  • Approve via chat/email "as an exception" (no traceability, no audit trail, high compliance risk)
  • Let the request go through without the right stakeholder (decision risk)

OmniApproval™ - Flexible Flow brings real-world flexibility to approvals: you can insert or revoke additional approvers while a request is running, without breaking the default approval flow designed by the business.

Every change is governed, logged, and reportable - so operations stay fast, and controls stay strong.

Key Features

  1. Flexible approval flow for real life changes (without breaking the default flow)
    • Add approvers after submission - no need to cancel and re-submit
    • Insert before/after a selected default approval step
    • Keep the default approval order intact (only insert, never reorder)
    • Prevent duplicates across single-approver and multi-approver steps
    • Enforce a maximum number of inserted approvers per Approval Type
  2. Controlled by policy, not by improvisation
    • Configure who can add approvers per Approval Type (submitter, default approver, security groups)
    • Revoke inserted approvers before they take any approval action
    • Require a revoke reason to ensure transparency and accountability
  3. Audit-ready and reportable
    • Full audit trail for every add/remove event: actor, target, anchor step, position, reason, timestamp
    • Clear UI indicators for modified flows (ribbon + inserted approver badge)
    • Control reports for Approval Admin to review modified requests and audit logs

Typical Use Cases

  • A CFO/Legal/Compliance approval is required after submission due to a policy exception.
  • A key stakeholder must be consulted urgently without restarting the request.
  • Temporary escalation is needed for high-value or high-risk approvals.
  • Avoid "approval outside the system" and keep decisions auditable.
