Odoo 18 provides an efficient way to manage employee leave
through the Time Off module. Employees can easily submit requests,
and managers can approve or reject them based on company
policies.
Introduction
3. Enterprise
Time off can be requested in one of two ways: either from the
main Time Off application Dashboard (Time Off app ‣ My Time ‣
Dashboard), or from the My Time Off dashboard view (Time Off
app ‣ My Time ‣ My Time Off).
To create a new request for time off, click the New button on either
the main Time Off Dashboard or the My Time Off dashboard, in
the default list view.
6. Enterprise
Enter the following information on the New Time Off request form:
● Time Off Type: Select the type of time off being requested
from the drop-down menu.
● Dates: Enter the dates that the time off falls under. There are
two fields to populate: the start and end dates. Click on
either date field and a popover calendar appears.
7. Enterprise
Click on the start date, then click on the end date. The selected
start and end dates are circled, and the dates between them are
highlighted (if applicable).
If only requesting time off for a single day, click on the start date,
then click the same date again for the end date.
When the correct dates are selected, click the Apply button.
The selected dates now populate the two portions of the Dates
field.
9. Enterprise
● Duration: This field updates automatically once the Date section is
completed. If the Date section is modified, this section
automatically updates to reflect the total time off requested. This
field is in either hours or days, depending on how the selected
Time Off Type is configured.
● Description: enter a description for the time off request. This
should include any details that managers and approvers may
need to approve the request.
10. Enterprise
● Supporting Document: This field only appears if the Time Off
Type selected allows for the attachment of documents. Click the
Attach File button, and a file explorer window appears.
● Navigate to the desired files that should be attached, select
them, then click The Open button. The files then appear on the
time off request form. Multiple documents can be attached, if
necessary.
If the request was created from the Dashboard, click the Save & Close
button to save the information, and submit the request.
11. Enterprise
Once the time off is created the respective user can approve it by
clicking the approve button.
12. Enterprise
To view time off requests that need approval, navigate to Time Off
app ‣ Management ‣ Time Off.
The only time off requests that are visible on this page belong to
employees the user either has Time Off Officer or Administrator
access rights for in the Time Off application.
14. Enterprise
If the Waiting For Me filter is removed, all statuses appear.
Approved requests are highlighted in green, To Submit (drafts)
requests are highlighted in blue, and the Refused requests are
highlighted in gray.
To approve a time off request, click the Approve button at the end of
the line.
15. Enterprise
To validate a time off request that has already been approved, and is
waiting on a second approval, click the Validate button at the end of
the line.
To refuse a request, click the Refuse button at the far end of the line.
16. Enterprise
It is also possible to approve, validate, or refuse the request from the
form view as well. Click the Approve button to approve, the Validate
button to validate, or the Refuse button to refuse the request.

By following these steps, employees can easily request time off, and
