Leave Multi-Level Approval

Standard time off supports only one or two validators. This module lets each leave type define a list of validators and records every approver decision with comments. It extends the Time Off app on the leave type and the leave request form. The benefit is a controlled multi-step approval that shows who approved, who refused and why.

1. 1

   Choose the validation type

   On the leave type form the Leave validation tab has a validation type selection. Choosing multi-level activates the validators list. The setting is stored on hr.leave.type.

   • Tab: Leave validation
   • Field: leave_validation_type
2. 2

   List the validators

   HR adds users in the validators lines. A constraint stops saving when the list is empty for multi-level types. Each line links the leave type and a user.

   • Model: hr.holidays.validators
   • Empty list is rejected
3. 3

   Submit a leave request

   The employee requests time off of a multi-level type. The system generates one approval line per validator in the Validation Status tab. Lines start unapproved.

   • Tab: Validation Status
   • Model: leave.validation.status
4. 4

   Approve with a comment

   Each validator opens the request and presses Approve, optionally leaving a comment. The line stores the user, the Approve Status and the comments. A user who is not a validator cannot approve.

   • Button: Approve
   • Fields: Approve Status, Comments
5. 5

   Refuse or reset

   A validator can refuse, which stops the request, and the request can be set back to draft. The Approvals server action menu lists requests waiting for the current user. A record rule limits what employees see.

   • Buttons: Refuse, Set to Draft
   • Menu: Approvals
