Approval Matrix — Sale Orders

Introduce a commercial review step before any sale order is confirmed. Control discounts, large deals, and non-standard terms with a configurable approval chain.



Key Features

Commercial Review Gate

Require manager or director approval before a sale order is confirmed and committed to the customer. Prevent unauthorized discounts or non-standard pricing from being locked in.

Amount & Customer Filters

Target rules at high-value deals or specific customers. Apply a light one-step approval for standard orders and a stricter chain for large or strategic accounts.

Auto-Confirm on Full Approval

When every required approval stage passes, the sale order is confirmed automatically and the fulfillment process begins — no second action from the salesperson.

How It Works
1

Configure the Approval Rule

Set amount thresholds, customer and company filters, and define the approver chain for sale orders within your conditions. Apply different approval levels for different deal sizes.

Category: Sale Order
Min Amount: 20,000 USD
Approver: Sales Manager
2

Sale Order Is Held

When a matching order is saved or the Confirm button is clicked, Odoo assigns activities to the required approvers and blocks confirmation until all stages are cleared.

Status: Pending Approval
Confirm button: Hidden
Activity: Sent to approvers
3

Approve & Auto-Confirm

Authorized approvers approve or refuse directly from the sale order form. When all stages pass, the order is confirmed automatically and the fulfillment process begins.

Stage 1: Sales Manager ✓
Stage 2: Commercial Director ✓
Result: Auto-confirmed

Approval Rule Configuration

Approval rule for sale orders showing amount thresholds, customer filters, and approver chain

Configure amount thresholds, customer and company scope, and the full multi-step approver chain from one rule form. Apply stricter approval for large deals and lighter flows for routine orders.

Approve & Refuse on the Sale Order

Sale order form showing Approve and Refuse buttons for authorized approvers

Authorized approvers see the Approve and Refuse buttons directly in the order header. The Confirm button is hidden while the order is pending approval — the salesperson cannot override it.

Pending Approver Widget

The avatar strip shows exactly who needs to act on the current approval step. Non-approvers see the widget too — they know who to contact without asking around or checking emails.

Activity Sent to Approver

Odoo activity notification assigned to the approver for the pending sale order

Odoo automatically assigns a scheduled activity to each required approver with the order details and a deadline. Approvers can act from their activity feed without searching for the document.

Resubmit After Refusal

If an order is refused — for pricing, terms, or any commercial reason — the salesperson corrects it and resubmits with one click. The refusal is preserved in the history for full traceability.

Auto-Confirmed After Final Approval

Sale order automatically confirmed after all approval stages pass

Once all required stages pass, the sale order is confirmed automatically and fulfillment begins. No extra step from the salesperson — the customer relationship continues without delay.

Approval History per Sale Order

Approval history log showing every decision, approver name, timestamp, and notes for this sale order

Every approval action is permanently logged against the sale order: who approved or refused, at which step, when, and any notes from the commercial review. Full accountability in one place.

Who Needs This Module
Sales Managers

Review and approve large or strategically important deals before they are committed and communicated to the customer.

Finance Teams

Require sign-off on orders with unusual payment terms or above revenue thresholds before they are confirmed.

Commercial Directors

Maintain authority over pricing decisions and non-standard contract terms without being a bottleneck for routine orders.

Operations Teams

Ensure capacity and resources are committed only after the deal is properly vetted and signed off at the right level.

Key Benefits
No Unauthorized Commitments

Sale orders above your defined threshold cannot be confirmed without the required management sign-off — no exceptions.

Discount & Pricing Control

Stop non-standard pricing from being locked into confirmed orders without a commercial review at the right level.

Clean Sales Record

Every approval decision is permanently recorded against the sale order for full commercial accountability and audit readiness.
