In Odoo, it is possible to set different approvers for requested Time Off. This setting is based on the Time Off Type, so for each Time Off Type (Time Off > Configuration > Time Off Types), one of the following options can be selected:
- No Validation
- By Time Off Officer
- By Employee’s Approver
- By Employee’s Approver and Time Off Officer
With the first option, as the name suggests, no validation is required for Time Off requests.
The second option, By Time Off Officer, will send the request for validation to the Time Off Officer selected in the Notified Time Off Officer field. Multiple Time Off Officers can be selected to be notified for the approval request, however only one approval is required. A Time Off Officer is a user who has the Time Off Officer role.
The third option makes the approver set on the Employee form the approver for the Time Off request. This setting is available per employee and can be found in the Work Information tab under the Approvers section, Time Off field.
The last option combines the second and third options, which means it requires two approvers: the Employee’s approver and the Time Off Officer.
