Introduction

The Workflow Engine Base module provides the fundamental framework for workflow automation in Odoo. It allows businesses to design and manage structured processes by defining workflows made of activities and transitions. With this module, organizations can automate record progression, enforce rules, and streamline multi-step approvals—ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and consistency across operations.

Key Features

  • Define workflows as directed graphs with activities and transitions

  • Support multiple activity types, including automated actions, state changes, and custom operations

  • Configure conditional transitions with split modes such as XOR, OR, and AND

  • Enable sub-workflows to handle complex, multi-layered business processes

  • Provide a visual structure for tracking record lifecycle and workflow states

Benefits

  • Automates repetitive processes to save time and reduce manual errors

  • Improves control and visibility over approvals and record lifecycle

  • Ensures consistent enforcement of business rules across all departments

  • Simplifies workflow management through configuration instead of heavy coding

  • Adapts quickly to changing business needs with flexible workflow structures
