Double Validation in Odoo Purchase
The Odoo Purchase application is configured to have the single level of validation, but the double validation can be activated to have two levels of validation before confirmation from RFQ to purchase order.
We can define a validation process whereby only a manager can validate a purchase order that exceeds certain total amount. Some companies may need a double validation before they confirm the order. This adds another feature to manage purchase standard increase verification process.
For this login to your system, move to Purchases → Configuration → Settings.
Make sure that ‘Get 2 levels of approvals to confirm a purchase order’ is checked which is seen under ‘Levels of Approvals *’. This will allow the feature that only the manager can validate the purchase order if it exceeds a certain limit. To set the limit amount upon which the manager need to validate the PO, set the amount on the field ‘Double validation amount *’ which comes only when ‘Get 2 levels of approvals to confirm a purchase order’ setting is checked.
