Purchase Order Approval Check Lists v.17
The tool to make sure a purchase order is ready for the next stage. Purchase checklists. Purchase approval. Multi RFQ confirmation
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 for the next stage and that all intermediary actions are approved. The app lets you prepare a checklist per each state, so it forces users to confirm all points and controls the approval process.
Checklists per procurement stage and company
Checklists are defined for a company in general. Purchase managers specify what and in 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 checkpoints are shown right on the tree of purchase orders or requests for quotations. You may distinguish those by colors and may always search them by keywords
Approval history for managerial control
Checklist actions are saved in history. If an 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 lets assign security groups for each checklist point. In such a case, only users from those groups would be able to confirm a related item
Super approval admins
The role 'Checklist Super User' allows (a) to confirm any checkpoints disregarding defined security groups and (b) to move any request for quotation further without fulfilling checklists.
Configurable purchase multi approval
Ensured approval workflow
-
Check items are generated based on a purchase order company and state. Thus, the set of actions to be done is different for each stage
-
Odoo scans checklists 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 checklist for each state. Scanning an empty checklist is always considered as successful
-
The app lets configure checkpoints 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 > 'Canceled') or re-set canceled RFQ ('Canceled' > 'Draft').
