🔄 Dynamic Selection Workflow Manager

The Universal Status Engine for Odoo – Build Approval Flows, Action Buttons, and Smart States on Any Model

Fully customizable • No code needed • Role-aware • Company-specific • Developer-friendly

Background

🌟 Key Features

  • ✅ Works with any selection field in any model (sales, projects, HR, accounting, custom modules).
  • ✅ Add custom selection values on-the-fly (with company-specific overrides).
  • ✅ Create smart action buttons based on state & role – all from the UI.
  • ✅ Trigger Python methods or state changes automatically on button click.
  • ✅ Support for multi-step approvals using button sequencing and automation rules.
  • ✅ Add role-based permissions to each button/state transition.
  • ✅ Show/hide buttons dynamically using state-based and domain-based logic.
  • Hide existing Odoo buttons conditionally based on states, roles, or custom domain rules.
  • ✅ Smart fallback control: use default field-value visibility when no domain is provided.
  • ✅ Lock fields conditionally based on the current state – no coding required.
  • ✅ Integrates with Base Automation to run rules after state change.
  • ✅ Fully supports multi-company mode.

🚀 Why Choose This Module Over Others?

  • Not Just for Sales Orders: Works on any model — from `sale.order` to custom objects.
  • Reusable Workflows: Define once, apply anywhere — unlimited flexibility.
  • No Developer Needed: Business users can configure approvals, buttons, and workflows.
  • Power Users Welcome: Easily hook into Odoo with Python methods or automation rules.

🌍 Real-Life Use Cases

  • Sales Team: Implement custom state buttons like "Request Discount", "Manager Approval", and "Send to Legal".
  • HR Department: Manage leave approval workflows with Manager → HR → Director routing.
  • Finance Team: Use state-based logic to prevent edits once invoices are approved.
  • Custom Workflows: Add new selection states like "Needs Review", "Escalated", or "QA Approved" in minutes.
  • Developers: Inject action logic that runs custom backend code without rewriting core models.

💬 What Users Are Saying

“We used to hardcode approval logic into our sales orders — now everything is dynamic, maintainable, and admin-friendly.”

– ERP Consultant

"I can create state buttons, control visibility, and trigger backend logic — all from the UI. This app changed our workflow design!"

– Odoo Tech Lead

"Exactly what I needed to standardize and scale workflows across our custom apps."

– CTO of SaaS company

🛠️ Technical Highlights

  • ✔ Dynamically injects `statusbar_visible` into views
  • ✔ Dynamic readonly field locking via XML mutation
  • ✔ Dynamic button invisibility injection based on states, user groups, and domain expressions
  • ✔ Domain expression to Python condition translation engine
  • ✔ Smart fallback visibility: if no custom domain, default field-based conditions apply automatically
  • ✔ Selection values stored in `ir.model.fields.selection` and synchronized safely

👨‍💻 Developer Friendly

Want more control? Just create a method in your model like:

def dynamic_action_state_approved(self):
    # Your custom logic here
    self.write({'state': 'approved'})

Or configure everything visually through the Odoo interface — it's up to you.

✅ Why This App is Better Than Competitors

Most approval or workflow modules in Odoo are either too rigid, model-specific, or developer-dependent. Dynamic Selection Workflow Manager is the only app that combines flexibility, security, automation, and usability — all without writing a line of code.

  • 🎯 Use on any model, not just sales.
  • 🔐 Role-based access control at the field value level.
  • ⚙️ Button logic using domain conditions and Python methods.
  • 🏢 Multi-company support out of the box.
  • 🧠 Built for both admins and developers — configure in UI or extend in code.
