Odoo Approval Workflow
Native Odoo approvals. Visually controlled.
MT Approval Workflow adds a visual approval control layer around real Odoo documents, native buttons, users, departments, reminders, record locks, and workflow history.
Product Video
See the workflow in action.
Product Overview
Approval is not a separate request form.
MT Approval Workflow controls when the original Odoo action may continue. Users stay on real business documents, while administrators design approval routes visually.
Native Button Control
Bind approval to real Odoo actions.
Use debug information to identify the Odoo method behind a button, then bind a workflow definition to that model and action.
Visual BPMN Designer
Design approval routes instead of hard-coding them.
Build approval, handling, CC, branch, reminder, timeout, and return behavior on a BPMN-style canvas.
Workflow nodes for real business work.
Approval nodes
Create approval tasks with any-approval or countersignature patterns.
Node settings
Configure add-approver, attachment, countersign, and pass rules per node.
Handling nodes
Ask users to complete work before the workflow continues.
CC nodes
Keep management, finance, or project members informed without blocking the process.
Branch Logic
Different documents can follow different routes.
Use conditions and default paths for amount-based, department-based, customer-based, or other business approval decisions.
Assign, remind, and handle delays.
Assignees
Users, groups, positions, departments, and reporting lines.
Notifications
Internal notifications, emails, and Chatter messages.
Timeouts
Log, approve, reject, or transfer when tasks are delayed.
Business User Experience
Users work from the document and the approval center.
Administration
Track instances, reminders, and people changes.
