Catch budget overruns before they are approved
Set spending limits on purchase orders, vendor bills, and customer credit, then warn or block right at the point of approval — with a full audit trail of every override.
The problem
By the time a budget overrun shows up in a report, the purchase order is already confirmed, the bill is already posted, and reversing it is costly and awkward. Approvers work from stale figures because nothing checks spend against budget at the actual moment of decision.
The solution
Every purchase order, vendor bill, and sales order is checked against its budget the instant someone tries to confirm or post it. A soft warning band flags near-limit spend; a hard block stops over-limit spend outright, with manager override always available and logged.
Enforcement, not just reporting
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Real-time spending dashboard
A kanban view with coloured progress bars shows consumed and remaining budget across every rule at a glance.
Two-tier threshold control
Define a soft warning percentage and a hard block percentage of the budget limit on every rule, matching real approval policy instead of one all-or-nothing cutoff.
Point-of-approval enforcement
Purchase order confirmation and vendor bill posting are checked against budget the instant the action is taken, not after the fact in a report.
Customer credit limit monitoring
Sales order confirmation checks the customer's outstanding balance against their credit limit and warns or blocks before the order is confirmed.
Manager override with audit trail
Authorized managers can override a hard block, and every override is written to a log with who acted, when, and the resulting spend.
Guided setup wizard
Pre-built templates for department PO limits, expense caps, and customer credit lines get a working budget rule running in minutes, no accounting background required.
Role-based routing and daily escalation
Each budget rule has a responsible user, and a daily scheduled check activity-schedules a follow-up to that user for rules still in the warning band.
Multi-currency budget tracking
Budgets are set and converted in the rule's own currency, so international teams get accurate spend comparisons without manual conversion.
Variance reporting and rule list
A state-decorated rule list plus graph and pivot views give period-level budget-vs-actual variance for review and month-end analysis.
How it works
Run the setup wizard
Pick a pre-built template — department PO limit, expense cap, or customer credit line — and get a working budget rule in minutes.
Set your thresholds
Define a warning band and a block band as a percentage of the limit, scoped to an analytic account and a responsible user.
Enforcement happens automatically
Purchase orders, vendor bills, and sales orders are checked the moment someone tries to confirm or post them — no separate review step.
Track, override, escalate
Watch consumption on the live dashboard, review every blocked or overridden case in the audit log, and let daily escalations flag what got ignored.

No. It builds directly on your existing analytic accounts and budgets, adding warning and hard-block enforcement at the moment a purchase order, vendor bill, or sales order is approved — something Odoo's native budget reports do not do.
