  • Modeling general business workflows 
    Hello,

is anyone aware of any module that would allow for some kind of general workflow? I have a requirement for something the customer calls "Personnel Requisition Request" where hiring manager initiates a request to head of department, then when approved moves to another department for filling in some data, then is set back, ...  This particular case involves hiring but I guess such need is more general.

I can handle approvals with existing tier validation modules. I can build an object to represent the request. Using tasks as request and stages came to my mind. But I have a feeling that there is (could be) fomething to automate the business flow. Any ideas are welcome. Thank you very much.

Best regards

      David,

this is quite intriguing... Probably a bit overkill for this case but can be 
very useful... Thank you.

Best regards

      Hi Adam,

I am very much aware of this but that would mean programming all the logic. I 
was looking for something where I would just configure things.

Best regards,

      Odoo has some special handling for any model with a field named "state" that lends itself towards this sort of effort. You can decorate other fields with "states" in Python and XML to pay attention to its value, i.e.

          currency_id = fields.Many2one('res.currency', store=True, readonly=True, tracking=True, required=True,
              states={'draft': [('readonly', False)]},
              string='Currency',
              default=_get_default_currency)

          <button name="action_post" states="draft" icon="fa-check" title="Post" type="object" groups="account.group_account_invoice"/>

      This should allow you to drive a user through a mostly linear workflow without too much trouble, by showing only actions appropriate to the current state and marking fields readonly once they should no longer be changed.
