Approval Workflow
Generic, configurable, multi-step approval engine
Any model. One mixin. Zero boilerplate.
Approver types —
users · group · manager · field
Quorum —
need 2 of 5? configure it
Amount routing —
min/max brackets per step
Mixin to inherit —
any model, any module
Why an approval engine?
Every business has approval flows — purchase orders, expense claims, leave requests, contracts. Most teams either rewrite the same approval code in every module, or stuff approvers into hardcoded fields that can't handle "2 of 5 directors above $50K".
This module gives you one generic engine. Configure flows declaratively via the standard Odoo UI — no Python required for new approval scenarios.
Plug into any model
Inherit one mixin. Your model gains state, request, and approval methods automatically.
Configure, don't code
Add steps, change approvers, adjust amount brackets — all from Odoo settings.
Native notifications
Approvers get Odoo activity reminders. Approvals, rejections, and audit log via the chatter.
Key features
Designed to solve a specific real-world problem — not bloated, not vague.
Multi-step sequences
Any number of steps, ordered by sequence. Each independently configured.
N-of-M quorum
Need 2 of 5 directors? Configure required_approvers on that step.
Amount-based routing
Small claims skip senior approvers. Big ones cascade. Per-step brackets.
Pluggable final actions
Call a method on the target record, or write a state field value.
Built-in chatter
Every decision logged. Reasons captured on rejection. Full audit trail.
Activity reminders
Pending approvers get Odoo activities â no separate inbox.
Who needs this?
Purchase Orders
Small POs auto-approve. Big ones go through buyer â finance director â CEO.
Expense Claims
Manager-of-creator approves first. Finance reviews if > $500. No per-model logic.
Leave Requests
Short leave: HR manager only. Long leave: HR + dept head. Configure as data.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace Odoo's built-in approvals?
No — it complements them. Use this when you need custom approval flows on your own models, or when the built-in ones don't support amount routing / N-of-M quorum.
Can approvers reject and reset?
Yes. Rejection captures a reason, the request goes back to draft, and the source record's state is restored. Requester can revise and resubmit.
What if my model has no amount field?
Leave amount_field empty. All steps apply unconditionally. The engine still handles sequence, quorum, and final action.
Can I customize approver resolution?
Yes. The 4 built-in resolvers cover most cases. Extend aos.approval.step._resolve_approvers() for custom logic.
