Material requisitions, approved with confidence
Let employees request materials, supplies, and equipment inside Odoo, route each line to a vendor RFQ or an internal stock transfer, and approve through one configurable, budget-aware workflow.
Employees who need materials have no self-service way to ask for them, so requests travel through email threads, spreadsheets, and paper forms with no visibility into where they stand. Purchasing and finance are left with no structured record of what was requested, by whom, or who approved it - and every purchase-only or stock-only app forces a choice most organizations do not actually have.
One requisition workflow where each line is routed to a vendor RFQ or an internal stock transfer, approvals move through a configurable chain with live stock and budget visibility, and every stage decision is time-stamped, attributed, and printable for an audit trail.
Everything a requisition process needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Employee Self-Service Requisitions
Employees submit a multi-line material request with a justification, replacing informal email and paper requests with one structured record.
Dual Fulfillment Routing
Each line is routed independently to a vendor RFQ or an internal stock transfer, so a single requisition can mix both without switching apps.
Live Stock-on-Hand Visibility
Quantity on hand at the chosen source location shows on every line, so the purchase-or-stock decision is made with real data, not a guess.
Configurable Multi-Stage Approval
Build an approval chain of any length, with each stage assigned to the requester's manager, a specific user, or any member of a group.
2-Tier & 3-Tier Starter Templates
Apply a ready-made approval chain in one click instead of configuring stages from scratch, then adjust it to fit your organization.
Consolidated My Approvals Dashboard
Approvers see every requisition currently waiting on them in one list, with cost and department shown inline, and approve or reject in place.
Budget-Aware Approval
Estimated cost is computed per line and compared against the requesting department's monthly material budget, with an on-form warning before approval.
SLA & Overdue Tracking
Each approval stage carries a target number of days. A daily check flags stages left pending past their deadline so nothing stalls silently.
Full Audit Trail & PDF Export
Every stage decision, approver, and timestamp is kept on the requisition and available as a printable PDF for compliance records.
How it works
Submit a Requisition
An employee adds lines, choosing purchase or internal stock per item, with on-hand quantity shown live.
Route Through Approval
The requisition moves through the company's configured stages - a starter template, or a fully custom chain.
Approve or Reject
Each approver acts from the consolidated My Approvals dashboard, seeing cost and budget impact before deciding.
Fulfillment Generates Itself
Once fully approved, a purchase order per vendor and an internal transfer are created automatically - no re-entry.
See it in action
Real screens from the module, captured on Odoo 17.
Every requisition in one list, color-coded by status with the estimated cost shown inline.
A kanban board grouped by state gives a quick visual read on where every request stands.
A draft requisition mixing a vendor-routed laptop line with an internal-stock paper line, on-hand quantity visible on both.
A freshly submitted requisition, showing both configured stages, their resolved approver, and the deadline for each.
Mid-flow: the manager stage is approved, the approver stage is now current, and the budget warning is visible before the next decision.
The company's active approval chain: a Department Manager stage, then any member of the Requisition Approver group, each with its own SLA.
Starter templates ready to apply in one click, so most organizations need no manual approval-chain setup.
The 3-tier template: manager, then approver group, then a final requisition-manager sign-off, each with a configurable SLA.
The consolidated My Approvals queue: only what is actually waiting on this approver, with Approve and Reject available inline.
A company-wide view of everything currently submitted and awaiting a decision at any stage.
Fully approved: two purchase orders and one internal transfer were generated automatically, one click away via the smart buttons.
A rejected requisition that exceeded the department budget, with the approver's reason kept on the record.
Built-in pivot analytics break requisition volume down by department and status for operations and finance reporting.
Each employee record gets a Requisitions tab to set their default internal-stock delivery location.
Departments get a monthly material budget field, feeding the budget warning on every requisition from that department.
Every auto-generated purchase order links straight back to the requisition that created it, for full traceability.
Internal transfers carry the same requisition reference, so warehouse staff always know what generated the movement.
Frequently asked
Can one requisition mix purchase and internal-stock lines?
Yes. Fulfillment routing is set per line, not per requisition, so one request can generate both a purchase order for some items and an internal stock transfer for others.
Does setting up approvals require IT configuration?
Not necessarily. An administrator can apply the built-in 2-tier or 3-tier template in one click, or build a fully custom chain of any length under Requisitions > Configuration.
What happens once a requisition is fully approved?
The module automatically creates one purchase order per distinct vendor for the purchase-routed lines, and one internal transfer for the stock-routed lines - no manual re-entry.
Can a department manager approve without a special permission group?
Yes. A "Requester's Manager" stage resolves automatically to whoever is set as the employee's manager in Odoo HR, so a manager can approve their own team's requisitions without being added to a dedicated approver group.
