Checklists that prove the work got done

Reusable maintenance checklist templates with an enforced approval gate, shop-floor kiosk mode, QR access, and photo evidence — so no required step, and no sign-off, is ever skipped.

The problem

Multi-step maintenance procedures get closed out on paper, in spreadsheets, or as a free-text chatter note — none of which stop a required step from being skipped or prove who actually signed off on it. Odoo's native Maintenance app tracks that a request happened, not whether every required sub-step was completed and approved first, which is exactly what audits and regulated buyers demand.

The solution

Maintenance Checklist & Approval adds a reusable checklist engine directly onto maintenance requests and equipment: build templates once from a shared item library, apply them with a wizard, complete them from a large-touch kiosk view, and require a named approver's sign-off — enforced, not optional — before the checklist can be marked approved.

Capabilities

Everything you need for accountable maintenance

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Reusable Checklist Templates

Build a checklist once by maintenance type and equipment category, then apply it to any request. Duplicate an existing template in one click to create a variant.

02

Reusable Item Library

A shared bank of inspection and task items, each with guidance text and a category tag, that any template can pull from instead of re-typing common steps.

03

Per-Item Status & Progress

Every step carries a Pending, Done, or Failed state, and the checklist shows a live 0-100% progress bar so completion status is visible at a glance.

04

Required-Item Enforcement

Mark any step as required. Submission for approval is blocked until every required item on the checklist is completed.

05

Submit / Approve / Refuse Workflow

A named approver signs off or refuses a submitted checklist in one click, with an activity reminder and a chatter trail of every state change.

06

Enforced Approval Gate

A checklist cannot be approved while any required item is still incomplete — the gate that stops premature sign-off, not just a validate button.

07

QR-Code Quick Access

Every checklist carries a scannable QR code, shown on the form and on the PDF report, that opens the record directly on a phone or tablet.

08

Shop-Floor Kiosk Mode

A large-touch-target form with big Done and Fail buttons, built for technicians working from a tablet at the machine, not a desk.

09

Photo Evidence & Audit Report

Flag any step to require a photo before it can be marked done, and export a printable PDF report with the full completion and approval history per equipment.

Workflow

How it works

1

Build your library

Create reusable checklist items and assemble them into templates by maintenance type and equipment category.

2

Attach to a request

Apply one or more templates to a maintenance request with the Apply Checklist wizard, right from the request form.

3

Complete on the floor

Technicians work through each item in kiosk mode, marking Done or Failed and attaching photo evidence where required.

4

Approve and close

Once every required item is complete, the named approver signs off or refuses — with the decision and evidence kept for audit.
