Two-step approval for purchase order

When we are dealing with a large sum of money, two level approval becomes a necessity to ensure safety. Today we will see how to set up this functionality in Odoo.

 

Step: 1

 

  • Open PURCHASE app.
  • From Configuration go to Setting.
  • Search for Order in the search field. In that look for Purchase Order approval as shown below in the screenshot.
  • Let’s make that amount as $5000.
  • PURCHASE -> CONFIGURATION -> SETTINGS -> ORDERS

  • Here in the user you can see there are three users.

  • Mark Demo is a purchase user, while nik is a purchase administrator. I have attached the screenshots of both of them respectively.

Step:3

 

  • Now from the user account, I created a request for a Quotation.
  • You can see here we have no button found for the received quantity because in an RFQ,the amount is larger than the confire amount. 
  • So here purchase administration approval is required.

  • Purchase administrator will approve this Purchase order, and validate it.
