Validating some operations is a common need across different areas in a company and sometimes it also involves several people and stages in the process. With this module you will be able to define your custom validation workflows for any Odoo document.
This module does not provide a functionality by itself but an abstract model to implement a validation process based on tiers on other models (e.g. purchase orders, sales orders, budgets, expenses…).
Note: To be able to use this module in a new model you will need some development.
See purchase_tier_validation as an example of implementation.
Additionally, if your state field is a (stored) computed field, you need to set _tier_validation_state_field_is_computed to True in your model Python file, and you will want to add the dependent fields of the compute method in _get_after_validation_exceptions and _get_under_validation_exceptions.

This is the list of known issues for this module. Any proposal for improvement will be very valuable.
Issue:
When using approve_sequence option in any tier.definition there can be inconsistencies in the systray notifications.
Description:
Field can_review in tier.review is used to filter out, in the systray notifications, the reviews a user can approve. This can_review field is updated in the database in method review_user_count, this can make it very inconsistent for databases with a lot of users and recurring updates that can change the expected behavior.
Migration to 15.0:
The parameter _tier_validation_manual_config will become False, on 14.0, the default value is True, as the change is applied after the migration. In order to use the new behavior we need to modify the value on our expected model.
Migrated to Odoo 17. Merged module with tier_validation_waiting. To support sending messages in a validation sequence when it is their turn to validate.
Migrated to Odoo 14.
