Out-of-Office Approval Delegator
Set vacation cover once, and let Odoo reassign activities and approvals on the dates you pick.
When an approver goes on leave, their pending activities and approval requests sit in a queue nobody is watching, and work stalls until they get back. Odoo has no delegation field on the user, so managers and IT admins fall back on ad-hoc chatter pings they forget to undo. This module adds an out-of-office switch on the user form: pick a delegate, a date range, and a scope. An hourly cron reassigns everything on the start date and reverses it cleanly on the end date.
Out-of-Office Approval Delegator
Schedule out-of-office cover that reassigns activities and approvals on the start date and reverses them on the end date.
What it does
When someone with approval duties goes on leave, their pending activities and approval requests sit in a queue nobody is watching. Work stalls until they return, or every approval gets escalated manually one at a time.
Odoo core has no delegation primitive on the user model, so vacation cover turns into ad-hoc chatter pings and manual reassignments that are easy to forget to reverse.
What this module adds:
- Delegation tab on the user form: pick a delegate, start date, end date.
- Per-delegation scope: cover activities, approval requests, or both.
- Hourly cron reassigns all open activities and approval requests (if the Approvals module is installed) to the delegate on start, and reverses them on end.
- Per-item tracking so the revert is precise, items that were not originally owned by the delegator are never touched.
- Manual End delegation now button on the user form for early returns.
- Full delegation log showing every reassignment and revert.
- Soft dependency on the Approvals module, works without it.
Who benefits
Approvers, managers, and IT admins at SMB and mid-market companies where approval queues block real work during leave.
How it works
Minimal extension of res.users (fields only). The cron drives every reassignment. Safe to install, safe to uninstall. TransactionCase tested on Odoo 17, 18, and 19.
What the module looks like
Real screenshots from a live Odoo 19 install. Every view is standard Odoo chrome, no bespoke widgets to learn.
Common questions
Does it inherit or patch core Odoo models?
_register_hook to wrap the target method at registry load, and the wrapper unwinds cleanly at uninstall. No schema changes to core tables, no monkey-patches, no Studio surgery.Does it work on Odoo Community, or only Enterprise?
Can I uninstall it cleanly if it does not fit?
What support do I get after buying?
