01 / Overview

The project context.

A reusable Odoo approval pattern for business documents that need configurable stages, approvers, decisions, and feedback before final processing.

Business problem

Different business documents required structured approvals involving multiple users and stages before final processing.

02 / Key requirements

What the workflow needed to handle.

  • 01Configurable approval matrix
  • 02Approval sequence
  • 03Multiple approvers per level
  • 04Minimum number of approvers
  • 05Approval status
  • 06Rejection handling
  • 07Approval timestamp
  • 08Feedback / comments
  • 09Approved-user tracking
