How to Request Manager Approval in Odoo 13

Functional Odoo 13

In every business organization, the payments and orders should be approved by the managers or the concerned superior officers. This methodology or tradition is followed in every organization to restrict the employees from purchasing unnecessary products. Often the process is done via an improper channel and the approved ones are paid in an unorthodox way which does not keep any record and data. The Odoo platform brings the user with a systematic flow for the process with the help of the approval module. On the one hand, the module allows the employees to request for approvals to the designated manager or superior. On the other hand, the manager can view all the requests, verify them, and approve them if necessary or refuse the request. The module can be configured as per the need of the user and the managers can be allocated and the employees can be registered who should be allowed to request for approval.


This methodology is helpful in maintaining a steady track of records and data regarding the payments made by the company executives against various commodities or services in favor of the company. The creation of an approval request and the approval of n can be explained in the module with an example.


While in the module the user can create various approval types that could be enabled while creating an approval request.

To create an approval type the user can navigate into the approval module > configurations > approval type.


The user can name the type and the description can also be provided as per the need. It can vary from travel chargers to certain outsourcing costs. The user should allocate the approvers for the request type.
