Purchase Order Approval Check Lists v.14
The tool to make sure a purchase order is ready for the next stage. Purchase checklists
Procurement is a complex and vulnerable process. It assumes various required steps and it usually involves a number of users from different departments. Any error might lead to drastic money losses and reputation damages. This Odoo tool is to make sure that a purchase order is always ready to the next stage and all intermediary actions are approved. The app let prepare a check list per each procurement step, force users to confirm all points, and control approval by responsible managers.
Check lists per procurement stage and company
Checklists are defined for a company in general. Purchase managers specify what and on which order state should be done and approved. A set is unlimited and might reflect custom procurement stages
Actions ensured to be done
In order to move an RFQ to a new state, a purchase manager needs to enter all confirmation points and should get approval for those he/she doesn't have a right to confirm
Indicative checklist to-do
Not yet done check points are shown right on the tree of purchase orders or request for quotations. You may distinguish those by colors and may always search them by key words
Approval history for managerial control
Check list actions are saved in history. If a order state is changed, already done check items would be recovered. Turn on the setting 'not saved' to avoid that behavior for specific approval points
Multiple purchase approval roles
The app let assign security groups for each check list point. In such a case, only users from that groups would be able to confirm a related item
Super approval admins
The special role 'Purchase Order Checklists Super User' allows (a) to confirm any check points disregarding defined security groups and (b) to move any request for quotation further without fulfilling check lists.
Configurable purchase multi approval
Ensured approval workflow
-
Check items are generated based on a purchase order company and state. Thus, set of actions to be done is different for each stage
-
Odoo scans check lists as soon as a user tries to change an order state. If not all actions are undertaken or confirmed, an RFQ can't be moved forward
-
You are not obliged to have a check list for each state. Scanning of empty checklist is always considered as successful
-
The app let configure check points for each standard or custom purchase state
Typical scenarios for checklists
-
A user tries to confirm an order ('RFQ' > 'Purchase Order' and 'RFQ Sent' > 'Purchase Order')
-
An order is triggered for approval ('RFQ' > 'Approval' and 'RFQ Sent' > 'Approval')
-
A user locks ('Purchase order' > 'Locked') or unlocks ('Locked' > 'Purchase order') a purchase
-
A user prints or sends an RFQ ('RFQ' > 'RFQ Sent')
-
A user cancels an order (any state > 'Cancelled') or re-set cancelled RFQ ('Cancelled' > 'Draft').
