Approvals

Oddo Approvals

Main Goal: Manage requests and approval processes easier than before.

Do your team members need to request any of the following approvals?

  • Expenses
  • Borrowing materials
  • Business trips to visit clients
  • Any items they require for their daily work

Odoo’s Approvals module simplifies these workflows, while protecting the company’s interests.

Firstly, Odoo provides a user-friendly tool to add approval requests wherever necessary, using Studio. For example, if a bill exceeds $1000, it may require approval from a manager. When the appropriate rules are defined, this creates an activity that the responsible person must confirm.

Alternatively, you could prevent order confirmation if employees do not have the necessary access rights.

Controlling your expenses is possible by configuring approval rules and conditions without leaving the main system.

Oddo Approvals

In addition, in your Approval module you can easily configure all types of approvals that your company will inevitably require for managing employee and HR aspects. You can specify required or optional fields and select the individual who is responsible for approval.

Users just need to give basic information, like the period of time, who’s going to approve it, what will be borrowed (if relevant) and the reason for the request. You can even attach documents to the request, so all information is available in one place.
