Gate every payment behind tiered approval before it is ever posted
Configurable multi-tier approval rules for outgoing and incoming payments — amount thresholds, conditional routing by journal, method, and vendor, a live match preview, and email approve-reject links that need no login.
The problem
Any employee who can create a payment can also confirm it, leaving no segregation of duties between raising and releasing company funds. A EUR500 utility bill and a EUR50,000 strategic-vendor payment get the same one-click approval, so finance teams have no enforced way to route higher-risk payments to the right people before money moves. Existing tools either skip the release moment entirely or hard-code a single amount threshold, leaving growing SMBs without a self-service way to build real approval governance.
The solution
Payment Double Approval Workflow gates payments behind configurable, multi-tier approval rules that combine amount, journal, payment method, partner, and partner tags. Payments are held until every required tier signs off, with a live preview showing exactly which payments a rule matches, delegation for absent approvers, SLA escalation for anything overdue, and secure email approve-reject links that need no login.
Everything a finance team needs to enforce payment approval
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Configurable Multi-Tier Approval Rules
Build unlimited ordered approval tiers per rule, each routed to a security group or specific users, with an approvals-needed count and a per-tier SLA.
Conditional Rule Matching
Route payments on more than one amount threshold: combine amount bands with journal, payment method, partner, and partner tags so a strategic vendor payment can demand more scrutiny than a routine bill.
Live Match Preview
Every rule form computes and lists the actual payments it currently matches, so the person configuring the rule sees its real effect before saving.
Reusable Rule Templates
Save a proven approval pattern as a template and spin up new active rules from it in one click, instead of rebuilding the same tiers and conditions every time.
Approval Delegation
When an approver is away, a named substitute can act in their place for a defined date window, so a single absence never stalls a payment.
Pending Approvals Dashboard
A dedicated list and kanban view show every payment awaiting approval, grouped by current tier, sorted by amount and age, so nothing waits unnoticed.
SLA Escalation and Reminders
Each tier carries its own SLA in days; overdue approvals are flagged in red on the dashboard and payment list and automatically escalated to a configured manager.
Bulk Approval
Approvers can clear a filtered batch of same-tier payments in a single action, turning month-end approval backlogs into minutes instead of hours.
Audit Trail and Email Approve-Reject
Every approval, rejection, and revocation is recorded with user and timestamp, and approvers can act straight from a secure emailed link — no Odoo login required.
How it works
Build the rule
Combine amount bands, journals, payment methods, partners, and tags into a rule, then add ordered approval tiers and see which live payments match before saving.
Payment is held
When a matching payment is created, it is automatically routed to the first tier and cannot be posted until every required tier grants its approvals.
Approvers act
Approvers sign off from the payment form, the pending dashboard, a bulk action, or an emailed link that needs no Odoo login, with delegation and SLA escalation covering the rest.
Payment posts automatically
The moment the final tier approves, the payment posts on its own and every decision is preserved in an immutable, timestamped audit trail.
Frequently asked

No. Payment Double Approval Workflow is built for Odoo Community and ties approval directly to the payment posting action itself, so a payment cannot be released until it clears every configured tier — without any Enterprise dependency.
