Approvals

Odoo Approvals gives you a structured way to request and approve internal requests, such as purchases or other business decisions, instead of handling them by email. It suits companies that want a clear, auditable trail of who requested what and who signed it off.

What Odoo Approvals does

Approvals lets employees submit a request against a defined approval category, routes it to the right approver or approvers, and records the decision and any comments against the request. This gives managers and administrators visibility over pending and completed approvals in one place.

Key capabilities

• Submit requests using configurable approval categories
• Route requests to one or more designated approvers
• Track the status of each request from submitted to approved or refused
• Keep a record of who approved a request and when
• Use Approvals alongside other Odoo apps, such as Purchase, where a formal sign off is needed

Getting started

Set up the approval categories your business needs and assign the right approvers to each one. Once configured, employees raise requests directly in the app rather than by email, which keeps a permanent record for audits and reviews.

Frequently asked questions

Can more than one person need to approve a request?

Yes, an approval category can be configured with more than one required approver.

Can Approvals work alongside other Odoo apps?

Yes, approval categories can be linked to related actions, such as a purchase, so the sign off and the underlying record stay connected.
