3Odoo 17 streamlines your business processes with its powerful Approval module. This episode dives deep into Approval types, the backbone of efficient decision-making and workflow control.
Understanding Approval Types:
Approval types define the specific categories of requests that require authorization within your organization. Imagine a scenario where a purchase order needs approval before processing. In Odoo 17, you can create an "Approval Type" called "Purchase Order Approval." This type would outline the approval process for any purchase order request.
How to Configure Approval Types for Optimal Workflow:
We'll walk you through the configuration process, explaining key elements like:
Approval Name and Description: Clearly define the purpose of the approval type for easy user understanding.
Required Fields: Specify the information mandatory for submitting requests under this type, ensuring proper documentation.
Automated Sequence: Opt for automatic request numbering for a more organized system.
Defining Your Approval Chain:
The real power lies in setting up the approval chain. Here's what we'll cover:
Adding Approvers: Designate the relevant personnel authorized to approve requests under this type. This could be department heads, managers, or specific user groups.
Approval Hierarchy: Establish a hierarchical order for approvals. You can choose a single approver, sequential approvals where each person approves before the next, or even parallel approvals where multiple people must sign off simultaneously.
Minimum Approvals Required: Define the minimum number of needed approvals before the request is finalized.
Beyond the Basics: Advanced Features:
Odoo 17 offers additional functionalities to fine-tune your approval process:
Access Rules: Control who can see and create requests under specific approval types based on user roles and departments.
Notifications: Ensure timely action with automated notifications sent to approvers when a request awaits their decision.
Request History: Maintain a clear record of approval progress for each request, enabling easy tracking and auditability.

Streamlined Purchase Orders: Ensure proper budget control with purchase orders requiring manager or department head approval.
Efficient Expense Management: Implement expense report approvals by department or supervisor to manage employee spending.
Controlled Leave Requests: Manage employee leave requests with approvals from supervisors or HR departments.
