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 <https://github.com/OCA/purchase-workflow>`__
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``.

Configuration
=============

To configure this module, you need to:

1. Go to *Settings > Technical > Tier Validations > Tier Definition*.
2. Create as many tiers as you want for any model having tier validation
   functionality.

**Note:**

- If check *Notify Reviewers on Creation*, all possible reviewers will
  be notified by email when this definition is triggered.
- If check *Notify reviewers on reaching pending* if you want to send a
  notification when pending status is reached. This is usefull in a
  approve by sequence scenario to only notify reviewers when it is their
  turn in the sequence.
- If check *Comment*, reviewers can comment after click Validate or
  Reject.
- If check *Approve by sequence*, reviewers is forced to review by
  specified sequence.

To configure Tier Validation Exceptions, you need to:

1. Go to *Settings > Technical > Tier Validations > Tier Validation
   Exceptions*.
2. Create as many tiers validation exceptions as you want for any model
   having tier validation functionality.
3. Add desired fields to be checked in *Fields*.
4. Add desired groups that can use this Exception in *Groups*.
5. You must check *Write under Validation*, *Write after Validation* or
   both.

**Note:**

- If you don't create any exception, the Validated record will be
  readonly and cannot be modified.
- If check *Write under Validation*, records will be able to be modified
  only in the defined fields when the Validation process is ongoing.
- If check *Write after Validation*, records will be able to be modified
  only in the defined fields when the Validation process is finished.
- If check *Write after Validation* and *Write under Validation*,
  records will be able to be modified defined fields always.

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

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.
