One registry to receive, approve, and answer every official letter.

A complete correspondence registry for government agencies, ministries, hospitals, universities and regulated enterprises — inbound and outbound letters, memos and directives with automatic numbering, a configurable approval chain, reference chains, delegation, QR codes, digital signatures, an email gateway and portal access, all built into Odoo.

The problem

Government agencies, ministries, legal firms, hospitals, universities and large enterprises still register official letters, memos and directives in spreadsheets, shared drives and paper logs. Letters get lost, there is no reliable record of who handled what and when, reference numbers are duplicated or inconsistent, overdue items go unnoticed, and when an auditor asks for proof a letter was received, approved and answered, there is nothing defensible to show.

The solution

Official Correspondence Management gives every letter, memo and directive a single record: automatic sequential numbering, a configurable approval chain, reference chains linking replies to originals, delegation for absences, QR codes and signature capture, an encrypted secure-note field, and a full timestamped audit trail — plus a portal for external stakeholders and an email gateway that registers inbound mail automatically.

Capabilities

Everything a registry office needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Inbound & Outbound Registration

Register every incoming or outgoing letter, memo or directive with sender/recipient, urgency, confidentiality classification and unlimited attachments, linked straight to the contact database.

02

Configurable Approval Workflow

Move records through Draft, Reception, Review, Approved, Transmitted, Answered and Archived with a visible statusbar, restricted approval rights and a kanban board grouped by state.

03

Reference Chains & Smart Reply

Link a reply to its originating letter and chain related correspondence. One click on Smart Reply creates a pre-filled outbound record referencing the original, with no re-typing.

04

Automatic Numbering & Renumbering

Every record gets a unique, configurable sequence number by type. A manager-only wizard bulk-renumbers existing records when a fiscal-year or format policy changes.

05

QR Codes & Digital Signatures

Each record generates a printable QR code linking the physical letter to its digital twin, plus signature capture with signatory, date and a signed-status indicator.

06

Encrypted Notes & Full Audit Trail

Store confidential notes encrypted at rest, visible only to compliance officers, and get a timestamped, append-only audit log of every creation, state change and security action.

07

Delegation Management

Reassign an out-of-office user's open correspondence to a delegate for a defined period, with reason and expected return date, so nothing stalls while someone is away.

08

Overdue Tracking, Retention & Recycle Bin

Response-due dates are flagged automatically on records past deadline. Configurable retention rules archive and, later, soft-delete old records into a recoverable Recycle Bin.

09

Portal Access, Email Gateway & Bulk Actions

External stakeholders track their correspondence through a secure portal. A monitored mailbox registers inbound mail automatically, and bulk actions change state, tag, reassign or reply across many records at once.

Workflow

How it works

1

Register

Capture an inbound or outbound letter with sender, urgency and confidentiality, or let the email gateway register it automatically. A sequence number is assigned on save.

2

Route & Approve

The record moves through Reception, Review and Approved states with restricted approval rights, delegated automatically to a stand-in if the responsible user is away.

3

Respond

Use Smart Reply to create a linked outbound response pre-filled with the reference, or apply a Bulk Action to move several similar records at once.

4

Track & Archive

Overdue responses are flagged, a full audit trail records every step, and archived records move to Recycle Bin recovery or retention purge on your schedule.

Yes. Numbering formats, correspondence types and letter templates are all configurable, so the registry adapts to your organization's conventions instead of assuming one country's rules.
