Summary


In this chapter, you learned about high-level Odoo workflow views and how they can be used to better understand the processes in Odoo. Next, we looked at the developer view of the workflow designer and how you can visually analyze and modify the document workflows in Odoo. After covering the basic sales order workflow, we modified the workflow to create an approval process for the art designs in our real world project.

In the next chapter, we will dive into creating our own custom modules in Odoo. With custom modules, we can extend Odoo with additional fields, automate processes, and better integrate Odoo for an enterprise operation. Even better, Odoo's design approach means you will not be making any changes to the Odoo source code. Instead, you will learn how to extend Odoo with a module that you will build from the ground up!
