Detailed Usage Guide
This module extends Odoos default Purchase Order approval workflow by
automatically creating To Do activities for Purchase Managers whenever
a Purchase Order enters the To Approve state.
Approvers are instantly notified in their Activities dashboard and can
open the related Purchase Order directly from the activity.
Once the order is approved or no longer requires approval, the activity is
automatically cleared.

Log in as Administrator / Purchase Manager, enable Purchase Order Approval and set the Minimum Amount required for approval. This activates the default Odoo approval flow that this module extends with activities.
Step 2 Create a Purchase Order Above the Limit
Switch to a normal Purchase User account and create a Purchase Order with a total greater than the minimum approval amount. Click Confirm Order. The Purchase Order will move to the To Approve state.
Step 3 Approver Gets Notified in Activities
Log in as Purchase Manager / Administrator. In the top bar (Activities), you will see a new To Do activity automatically created by this module for the Purchase Order that is waiting for approval.
Step 4 Open the PO Directly from the Activity
Click the activity to open the related Purchase Order instantly. The Purchase Order clearly shows that it is in To Approve state and requires approval from the manager.
Step 5 Approve and Continue the Process
Approve the Purchase Order as usual using Odoos standard flow. After approval, the module automatically clears the related activity, keeping the managers Activities clean and up to date.
