Every one of you must have at least requested an approval request to a higher official or a tutor. The approval process in a way is permitted access to the requester from the approver. In the normal way of functioning, there are no orthodox ways to request for approval in the company but the employees will ask for permission and request the concerned to sign the papers required.

This is where the Odoo ERP showcased its advanced features of business operation management. The request approval feature of operation in the company is one of the Odoo salient features which overweighs the operational advantages of the platform over its competitors.


This blog will provide insight into how approval request options are being operated in the Odoo platform.

The description of the approval along with the name can be provided. Provide the necessary field requirements along with the minimum approval numbers and name the approvers. The minimum approval option comes in handy during the operation of an approval request to be verified by various officers. This ensures that the operation of the request has followed a hierarchical methodology of operation in the company.

A window as depicted below opens up where the user can provide the subject of the approval, category and description on the approval request. The required approvers can be mentioned who should approve before the manager approves. An attach document option is available where the users can attach the required documents needed to verify the approval request to the manager.

Upon submitting the request by the employee the status is changed to submitted and upon approval by the manager is indicated as approved. If the manager wishes that the approved request should be removed and made unacceptable the manager can withdraw the request upon selecting the withdrawal option available. The platform not only allows the manager to withdraw the request but also the respective employee who has submitted the request.


In case of two or more approvals required for the request upon opening the approval window, the manager can view that the operation is awaiting another response. This ensures that the manager can only approve the request after the other concern of the company has gone through and approved the same request.


Additionally, the log note functionality available in Odoo under every aspect of operation could also be seen under the approvals request window. Here it will be considered all the operations which are being conducted by the respective concerned parties of the approval along with the date and time of operation.


The approval request option in the Odoo platform will bring in an orthodox way of seeking permission in a company and provide the information on the operation to the concerned parties. The option could be a handy tool in asking for air travel, implementing a new methodology or aspects of the operation, on duty off site work, and many more aspects of operations in a company.
