Smart Invoice Approval Workflow in Odoo
Route invoices for approval based on amount and let Nora handle small ones automatically.
Nora reviews draft invoices in Odoo, auto-approves those under a threshold, and routes larger invoices to appropriate managers for sign-off before sending.
When a sales invoice is created in Odoo, Nora reviews the amount and customer. Invoices under $2,500 to existing customers with perfect payment history are auto-approved and scheduled for sending. Larger invoices, new customers, or high-risk accounts are routed to the sales manager for review via a Slack message with invoice details and customer history. The manager approves with a reaction, triggering auto-send. Routine invoices clear the moment they arrive, and high-value ones still get human eyes. Invoices stop sitting in an approver's inbox waiting for a spare moment, and anything outside your rules still goes to a human.
Runs real-time when invoice is drafted using Odoo and Slack, run by your Finance Manager.
