Partner Approval Gate
for Odoo

Put airtight governance on customer and vendor onboarding—enforce a role-based Draft → Approved workflow that stops mistakes at the source. From day one, Sales, Purchasing, Accounting, and Inventory flow only when the partner is approved: attempts to confirm SO/PO, post invoices/bills or payments, or validate pickings are cleanly blocked with guided messaging. Partner Managers approve in a click from form or list (with bulk actions), while optional checklists require key fields and documents before approval to meet KYC and compliance. Edit locks protect critical master data after approval; any change requires a controlled reset to Draft, preserving a clear audit trail. Smart badges, a statusbar, and chatter notes (Approved By/On, reasons) keep teams aligned without chasing spreadsheets. Centralize partner governance to reduce operational risk, prevent mis-postings, and speed audits—so your teams transact confidently knowing every downstream document is tied to a vetted, compliant partner.

Partner Approval Gate

Gain full control over partner approvals across Sales, Purchase, Accounting, and Inventory—set a simple Draft → Approved gate, assign approvers, and let Odoo keep every downstream document clean. From standard flows (Sales Order, Purchase Order, Invoices/Bills, Payments, Pickings), users work as usual; the system instantly links documents but blocks confirmation/posting until the partner is Approved. A status-driven workflow and role-based approvals keep high-risk transactions under tight control, while low-risk partners move through with one-click approval and optional bulk actions—maintaining speed without sacrificing governance.

Grant “Partner Manager” Access

Assign the Partner Manager right to selected users so they can approve or reset partners and manage bulk actions. This step enables the Draft → Approved workflow controls without giving broader admin privileges. Navigate to Settings ▸ Users & Companies ▸ Users, open the user, and tick Partner Manager under Other (or your module’s section), then save.

Approve the Partner

Open the partner record and review key details (address, tax ID, email/phone, tags). Enter an Approval Note if needed, then click Approve to move the status from Draft to Approved. Once approved, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Invoices/Bills, Payments, and (optionally) Pickings for this partner can proceed. The statusbar updates and the action is logged for audit.

Partner Approved & Audit Log

The partner is now Approved—transactions can proceed. Use the Set to Draft button to revoke approval when master data needs changes. The status bar shows Approved, and the chatter records who approved and when (including any approval notes), providing a clear audit trail for reviews and audits.

Bulk Approve from List

Speed up onboarding by approving multiple partners directly from the Contacts list. Use the inline Approve action or select several records and run the bulk Approve / Set to Draft actions. The Approve Status badge instantly reflects each change, letting your team clear pending partners without opening individual forms.

Bulk Approve via Actions Menu

Select multiple contacts and use Actions ▸ Approve (or Set to Draft) to update their approval status in one go. This clears backlogs fast and keeps the Approve Status badges in sync without opening each record.

Bulk “Set to Draft”

Select one or more approved partners and use Actions ▸ Set to Draft to revoke approval in bulk. This is ideal when master data needs edits—reset first, update safely, then re-approve. The Approve Status badges update immediately across the list.

Sale Order Blocked for Unapproved Partner

When trying to Confirm a quotation, the system checks the partner’s status. If the partner is Draft, confirmation is blocked and a clear message explains that the partner must be approved first. This prevents premature sales to unvetted customers and guides users back to the approval step.

Purchase Order Blocked for Unapproved Vendor

Attempting to Confirm Order triggers a vendor status check. If the vendor is still Draft, confirmation is blocked with a clear message requiring approval first. This safeguards procurement by preventing POs to unvetted suppliers and directing users back to the partner approval step.

Invoice Posting Blocked for Unapproved Partner

When attempting to Post a customer invoice (or vendor bill), the system validates the partner’s status. If the partner is still Draft, posting is blocked with a clear message, preventing receivables/payables from being created for unvetted entities. Approve the partner first, then post to proceed.

Vendor Bill Posting Blocked

Posting a Vendor Bill checks the vendor’s approval status. If the vendor is still Draft, posting is blocked with a clear warning to approve the partner first—preventing payables to unvetted suppliers and keeping procurement compliant.

Payment Confirmation Blocked

When attempting to Confirm a payment, the system verifies the partner’s status. If the partner is Draft, confirmation is blocked with a clear message, ensuring no cash disbursement/receipt is posted for unapproved entities. Approve the partner first, then confirm the payment.

Picking Validation Blocked for Unapproved Partner

Attempting to Validate the receipt/delivery checks the partner status. If the partner is still Draft, validation is blocked with a clear message—preventing stock moves for unvetted suppliers/customers and keeping inventory in sync with compliance.
