HR Deputy Manager

Approve expenses, attendances and time off across two management levels

by binadoo.com
  odoo@binadoo.com
In standard Odoo, only an employee's direct manager can approve their expenses, attendances and time off. HR Deputy Manager extends those permissions to the manager's manager — so when a team lead is on holiday, sick, or simply unavailable, the senior manager can step in and keep the workflow moving. No more stuck approvals, no more delegating through the HR officer.

The Problem

Out of the box, Odoo's approval flow stops at the direct manager. When that person is away, every pending expense report, attendance correction or time-off request piles up — or someone has to escalate to a full HR Manager just to unblock a single click.

Manager on holiday

Approvals freeze for two weeks while the team lead is away — even though the senior manager is right there.

Over-privileged workarounds

To unblock things, companies grant full HR Manager rights to people who only need to cover one department.

No visibility 2 levels deep

Senior managers can't see attendances or expenses of indirect reports without escalating to HR.

The Solution

One small module, three big wins — installed in seconds, no configuration required.

  Expense Approvals

The manager-of-the-manager can approve, edit and post expense sheets for indirect reports — exactly like the direct manager does today.

  Attendance Visibility

Attendance Officers see and edit records for their own team, their team's reports, and any employee they're explicitly assigned to.

  Time-Off Approvals

Approve, refuse, edit and reset time-off requests for direct subordinates and their reports — including past-dated leaves.

Key Features

  Two-Level Hierarchy Aware

Uses Odoo's existing parent_id chain — no new fields, no extra setup. If your org chart is already in place, you're ready.

  No Privilege Inflation

Senior managers get exactly the access they need for their indirect reports — not a blanket HR Manager role across the whole company.

  Three Modules Covered

Expenses, Attendances and Time Off — the three approval flows where bottlenecks hurt most are all handled in a single install.

  Leave Manager Respected

If you've assigned a dedicated Time Off Manager on an employee, that person retains their approval rights — the deputy logic adds to it, never replaces it.

  Edit Past-Dated Leaves

Direct and indirect managers can correct or validate time-off requests whose start date has already passed — without HR intervention.

  Drop-In Compatible

Extends standard Odoo HR rules and computed fields. No data migration, no breaking changes — uninstall any time and revert to standard behaviour.

A Concrete Example

Anna is a developer. Her manager is Ben (team lead). Ben's manager is Carla (engineering director).

Standard Odoo: Anna submits an expense report. Only Ben can approve it. Ben is on a 3-week parental leave. Anna's reimbursement is stuck — or someone gives Carla full HR Expenses Manager rights for the whole company.

With HR Deputy Manager: Carla sees Anna's expense in her approval queue automatically. One click — done. Same logic for Anna's attendance corrections and time-off requests. No new permissions to manage, no support ticket to HR.

Who It's For

  Mid-Sized Companies

Where org charts are 3+ levels deep and approval queues actually matter to cash flow.

  HR & Payroll Teams

Tired of being the escalation point every time a team lead takes a day off.

  Compliance-Conscious Orgs

Who don't want to grant company-wide HR rights just to cover one absence.

  Zero-Configuration Setup

1
Install the module

From the Apps menu — under 30 seconds, no server restart required.

2
Make sure your org chart is up to date

The module reads the Manager field on each employee — set it correctly and the deputy logic just works.

3
That's it.

Senior managers immediately see indirect reports' approvals in their queue. No additional groups, fields or settings.

Requires

Standard Odoo modules: Expenses (hr_expense), Attendances (hr_attendance) and Time Off (hr_holidays). Compatible with Odoo 18.0.

HR Deputy Manager

Spesen, Anwesenheiten und Abwesenheiten über zwei Führungsebenen genehmigen

by binadoo.com
  odoo@binadoo.com
Im Standard-Odoo kann nur der direkte Vorgesetzte eines Mitarbeiters dessen Spesen, Anwesenheiten und Abwesenheiten genehmigen. HR Deputy Manager erweitert diese Rechte auf den Vorgesetzten des Vorgesetzten — ist die Teamleitung im Urlaub, krank oder einfach nicht verfügbar, kann der übergeordnete Manager einspringen und der Workflow läuft weiter. Keine blockierten Genehmigungen mehr, keine Umwege über die HR-Abteilung.

Das Problem

Standardmäßig endet der Genehmigungsprozess in Odoo beim direkten Vorgesetzten. Ist diese Person abwesend, stauen sich Spesenabrechnungen, Anwesenheitskorrekturen und Urlaubsanträge — oder es muss an einen vollwertigen HR-Manager eskaliert werden, nur um einen einzigen Klick zu ermöglichen.

Manager im Urlaub

Genehmigungen ruhen für zwei Wochen, während die Teamleitung weg ist — obwohl der Bereichsleiter direkt verfügbar wäre.

Zu weitreichende Notlösungen

Um den Stau zu lösen, vergeben Unternehmen volle HR-Manager-Rechte an Personen, die eigentlich nur eine Abteilung vertreten sollen.

Keine Sicht auf Ebene 2

Übergeordnete Manager sehen Anwesenheiten oder Spesen indirekter Mitarbeiter nicht — ohne Eskalation an HR.

Die Lösung

Ein kleines Modul, drei große Vorteile — in Sekunden installiert, ohne Konfigurationsaufwand.

  Spesen-Genehmigung

Der Vorgesetzte des Vorgesetzten kann Spesenabrechnungen indirekter Mitarbeiter genehmigen, bearbeiten und buchen — genauso wie der direkte Vorgesetzte.

  Anwesenheits-Sicht

Anwesenheits-Beauftragte sehen und bearbeiten Einträge des eigenen Teams, dessen Mitarbeitern sowie zugewiesener Personen.

  Abwesenheits-Genehmigung

Urlaubsanträge direkter und indirekter Mitarbeiter genehmigen, ablehnen, bearbeiten und zurücksetzen — auch rückwirkend.

Schlüsselfunktionen

  Zwei-Ebenen-Hierarchie

Nutzt die bestehende parent_id-Kette von Odoo — keine neuen Felder, keine zusätzliche Konfiguration. Wenn Ihr Organigramm steht, sind Sie startklar.

  Keine Rechte-Inflation

Übergeordnete Manager erhalten genau die Rechte, die sie für ihre indirekten Mitarbeiter brauchen — keine unternehmensweite HR-Manager-Rolle.

  Drei Module abgedeckt

Spesen, Anwesenheiten und Abwesenheiten — die drei Workflows mit dem höchsten Engpass-Risiko in einer einzigen Installation.

  Time-Off-Manager bleibt erhalten

Ist einem Mitarbeiter ein dedizierter Abwesenheits-Manager zugewiesen, behält diese Person ihre Rechte — die Deputy-Logik ergänzt, ersetzt nie.

  Rückwirkende Bearbeitung

Direkte und indirekte Vorgesetzte können bereits begonnene Urlaubsanträge korrigieren oder validieren — ohne HR-Eingriff.

  Plug-and-Play kompatibel

Erweitert die Standard-Odoo-HR-Regeln. Keine Datenmigration, keine Breaking Changes — jederzeit deinstallierbar, Rückkehr zum Standardverhalten.

Ein konkretes Beispiel

Anna ist Entwicklerin. Ihre Vorgesetzte ist Ben (Teamlead). Bens Vorgesetzte ist Carla (Engineering Director).

Standard-Odoo: Anna reicht eine Spesenabrechnung ein. Nur Ben kann sie genehmigen. Ben ist 3 Wochen in Elternzeit. Annas Erstattung hängt — oder Carla bekommt unternehmensweite HR-Spesen-Manager-Rechte.

Mit HR Deputy Manager: Carla sieht Annas Beleg automatisch in ihrer Genehmigungs-Queue. Ein Klick — fertig. Gleiche Logik für Annas Anwesenheits- und Urlaubsanträge. Keine neuen Berechtigungen, kein HR-Ticket.

Für wen geeignet

  Mittelständische Unternehmen

Wo das Organigramm 3+ Ebenen tief ist und Genehmigungs-Queues echten Einfluss auf den Cashflow haben.

  HR & Lohnbuchhaltung

Müde davon, bei jeder Abwesenheit eines Teamleads als Eskalationsstelle einzuspringen.

  Compliance-bewusste Firmen

Die nicht unternehmensweite HR-Rechte vergeben möchten, nur um eine einzelne Abwesenheit zu überbrücken.

  Einrichtung ohne Konfiguration

1
Modul installieren

Über das Apps-Menü — in unter 30 Sekunden, kein Server-Neustart erforderlich.

2
Organigramm aktuell halten

Das Modul liest das Manager-Feld jedes Mitarbeiters — korrekt gepflegt, funktioniert die Deputy-Logik automatisch.

3
Das war's.

Übergeordnete Manager sehen Genehmigungen indirekter Mitarbeiter sofort in ihrer Queue. Keine zusätzlichen Gruppen, Felder oder Einstellungen.

Voraussetzungen

Standard-Odoo-Module: Spesen (hr_expense), Anwesenheiten (hr_attendance) und Abwesenheiten (hr_holidays). Kompatibel mit Odoo 18.0.
