Odoo Approvals, every sign-off on record.
Purchase requests, payments, business trips and contracts each get a request form, approvers in a set order and a record auditors can read. We implement Odoo Approvals for Gulf companies and extend it with ITH Workflow when the authority matrix needs amount limits, conditions and delegation.
What Odoo Approvals does
The standard 20 Enterprise feature set we configure, train on and support.
Approval types
Ready types for procurement, payment applications, business trips, contract approval, car rental and borrowed items, plus your own types with an icon and description.
Configurable request fields
Each type decides which fields are required, optional or hidden: date, period, amount, quantity, product, location, contact, document and reference.
Approvers and sequence
Named approvers per type, the employee manager as approver, a minimum number of approvals, required approvers and an approver sequence when the order matters.
Procurement requests
Procurement requests list products and quantities and, once approved, create requests for quotation in Purchase for the vendor set on each product.
Documents and activities
Supporting documents attached to each request, approvers notified through activities and email, and a chatter log of every approval, refusal and comment with its timestamp.
Request views and reports
My requests and requests to review for each user, filters by type, status and requester, and pivot and graph reports across every approval type.
Configured for Kuwait, the GCC and Egypt
The local rules we set up and keep current for Odoo Approvals, so the system matches the regulator and the way people here work.
Why an Official Odoo Partner matters- Arabic and English requestsRequest types, field labels and notification emails translated into Arabic, with right-to-left forms so staff in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Egypt submit requests in their own language.
- Amounts per company currencyRequests record amounts in the company currency, KWD to three decimals, SAR, AED or EGP, and ITH Workflow routes them against the limits set for that company.
- Exit permits and travelKuwait exit permits for private sector expatriates and Saudi exit and re-entry visas start as an internal approval, recorded before HR files them on Sahel or Muqeem.
What IT Horizon adds on top of Odoo Approvals
Modules and services we built from real Gulf implementations, written to Odoo guidelines so they upgrade with the platform.
ITH Workflow
Flexible approval workflows in the style of S/4HANA Manage Workflows, with conditions on amount, company, department and document type, and as many steps as the policy needs.
Authority matrix and delegation
An authority matrix that maps amounts and document types to roles, and delegation so an approver on leave or traveling hands requests to a deputy for set dates.
ITH Procurement and ITH Purchase
Approval chains on purchase requisitions and orders at SAP MM-PUR parity, with vendor evaluation, so spend requests move into purchasing under the same rules.
Works with
Odoo apps share one database, so Approvals exchanges data with these apps without connectors.
Questions, answered.
Purchase has its own second-level approval on orders above an amount. Approvals covers requests before any order exists, such as procurement, travel, payments and contracts. Most clients use both, and add ITH Workflow when one policy has to govern every document type.
Standard Approvals routes by type, with fixed approvers and minimums, and does not change approvers by amount. Where your policy says a department head signs up to a limit and the CFO above it, we configure ITH Workflow with an authority matrix.
In standard Odoo, another approver or an administrator acts on the request. ITH Workflow adds delegation: the approver names a deputy for set dates, requests route to the deputy, and the log shows the approval was made under delegation.
Yes. Approval requests appear as activities in the Odoo mobile app and in the browser, with the attachments, so a manager approves or refuses with a comment from anywhere. Email notifications link straight to the request.
Each request keeps who submitted it, who approved or refused, when, and any comments, alongside the attached documents. Auditors can filter requests by type, period and status and export them, and the history stays on the request after approval.
