Adds an approval workflow to Products. The default rule requires new Product to be approved before they can be used.
For this, the new Product record is kept as "Archived" until it is approved.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds an approval workflow to products: new products stay archived until an internal user approves them. Approvers can accept or reject products directly from the product list.
This module brings the tier validation approval process to products. A default rule named "Product Validation" is installed but inactive, so you decide when to turn it on. When active, it applies to product templates and requires approval by internal users before a product can be used.
Where it appears in Odoo: - On the Products list search, a filter "Needs an Approval" shows the products waiting for your approval. - On the product list, two actions are available: "Accept Validations" and "Reject Validations".
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - Products under validation are kept archived until approved. - Changing the product state restarts the validation, so the approval must be given again. - The product's internal state is automatically updated from the selected product state.
It touches the product template model and the tier definition configuration, and it depends on the product state and tier validation modules.

Source · Odoo 18.0This module depends on base_tier_validation. You can find it at OCA/server-ux
Usage
Source · Odoo 18.0A regular user creates a new Product and sends it for approval:
- Create a Product triggering at least one "Tier Definition". Product will be in In Development state and marked as Archived until approved.
- Click on Request Validation button.
- In the Reviews section, at the bottom of the form, inspect the pending reviews and their status.
The approver reviews Products to approve:
- Now select the filter "Needs my Approval" from Product list view.
- Open the Product form to approve. It will display a "This Records needs to be validated" banner, with "Validate" and "Reject" options.
- The approver can change the state to "Normal". This will automatically unarchive the record and make it available to be used.
The Approve/Reject actions do not automatically change the State. This could be a future improvement.
