Double Approvers for Vendor Purchase Orders
This module adds a controlled two-step approval workflow to Odoo Purchase Orders, requiring Approver 1 and Approver 2 to approve selected vendor RFQs before they can be progressed to a confirmed Purchase Order.
Business Need
Not every vendor requires the same level of purchasing control. Some suppliers may involve higher-value purchases, higher risk, or stricter internal approval policies. This module allows administrators to apply a double-approval rule only to specific vendors, while still keeping Odoo's normal purchasing workflow intact.
Key Features
- Requires 2 approvers before a vendor PO can be confirmed
- Supports sequential approval
- Approver 2 is blocked until Approver 1 approves
- Targets specific vendors instead of applying a blanket rule to all POs
- Prevents the RFQ creator from confirming too early
- Works with Odoo's normal RFQ to Confirmed PO flow
- Designed for Odoo 19
How It Works
An administrator defines a rule for a selected vendor and assigns two approvers. When an RFQ is created for that vendor, the approval sequence is enforced. Approver 1 must approve first, then Approver 2. Only after both approvals are completed can the user who created the RFQ click Confirm Order and progress the document into a confirmed Purchase Order.

Double Approvers for Vendor Purchase Orders
This module adds a controlled two-step approval workflow to Odoo Purchase Orders.
It allows administrators to define specific vendors that require two approvers before a Request for Quotation (RFQ) can be progressed to a confirmed Purchase Order.
The approvals are sequential:
- Approver 1 must approve first
- Approver 2 can only approve after Approver 1 has approved
- Only after both approvals are completed can the user who created the RFQ proceed with Odoo's normal Confirm Order action
Business Need
In many businesses, not every vendor requires the same level of purchasing control. Some vendors may involve higher-value purchases, higher risk, or stricter internal governance.
This module solves that problem by allowing organizations to apply a double-approval policy only to selected vendors, instead of enforcing a blanket rule across all purchase orders.
Key Features
- Require 2 approvers before confirming a vendor PO
- Enforce sequential approval
- Prevent Approver 2 from approving before Approver 1
- Prevent the RFQ creator from progressing the document too early
- Apply the rule to specific vendors only
- Works with Odoo's normal RFQ to Purchase Order flow
- Designed for Odoo 19
How It Works
- An administrator creates a double-approval rule
- The rule targets a specific vendor
- Approver 1 and Approver 2 are assigned
- When a user creates an RFQ for that vendor, the approval process is enforced
- Approver 2 is blocked until Approver 1 approves
- The RFQ creator cannot confirm the order until both approvals are complete
- Once fully approved, the user can click Confirm Order and continue with the standard Odoo purchasing workflow
