Lock any record after approval — configure everything, code nothing

A universal governance layer for Odoo 19. Freeze a record once it reaches a milestone, restrict who may still edit it, require manager approval to unlock, auto-lock by age, and keep a full audit trail. Works on every model — standard, custom or third-party — with no code after install.

Any model, no code
Point a rule at any model, pick a trigger, set who may edit — all from the standard Odoo UI. Custom and third-party models are covered automatically.
Approval & audit
Route unlock requests to an approver group, and keep a full trail of every lock and unlock — reason, who, and when — as compliance evidence.
Upgrade-safe
Behaviour is data-driven, so your configuration survives Odoo version upgrades. A single base-level hook keeps the footprint tiny and uninstall clean.

Locks live on the record — on any model

A clear banner shows the lock, its reason and who set it. The generic Actions menu adds Lock, Unlock, Request Unlock and Lock Info to every list and form — no per-model setup.

Everything you configure from the UI

State & condition triggers
Lock when a field reaches a value (posted, done, approved) or when a domain matches — built with the point-and-click domain editor.
Who may edit
Allow specific groups to keep editing while locked, with a separate (stricter) control for deletion and an optional field whitelist.
Manager approval to unlock
Require an approval workflow: users request, approvers get an activity, and only an approval lifts the lock.
Auto-lock by age
A scheduled job freezes records older than N days, based on the date field you choose per rule.
Reason, who & when
Every lock and unlock is stamped with a reason, the actor and a timestamp — retained as history for audits.
Safe & recoverable
A master kill-switch, a superuser/automation bypass for migrations, and break-glass admin access mean a lock is never unrecoverable.

Five ready-to-enable presets

Installed disabled and fully editable — flip on the ones you need for the apps you run.

Preset Model Locks when
Lock posted journal entriesaccount.movestate = posted
Lock confirmed sale orderssale.orderstate = sale
Lock completed manufacturing ordersmrp.productionstate = done
Lock validated stock pickingsstock.pickingstate = done
Lock approved expenseshr.expensestate = approved / posted

A dedicated back-office app

No-code rule builder — target any model, pick the trigger with the domain editor, set who may edit, approval and auto-lock.

Central lock registry & audit — every locked record with its reason, actor, time and status.

Unlock approval queue — approvers review and approve or refuse; refusals keep the lock and notify the requester.

Lock analysis — pivot and graph views over locks by model, rule, status and duration.

Global settings — master switch, superuser bypass policy, global edit groups, default approver and reason enforcement.

Roles & multi-company

User
Lock records, request unlocks, view lock info.
Manager
Unlock directly, approve/refuse requests, bulk lock.
Administrator
Manage rules & settings, override any lock (break-glass).

Company-scoped rules and entries, translatable strings, and record rules on every model.
