How do you handle consumable (expense products) for internal company use where approval is required. For example, office supplies (consumable items) are purchased and stored in the inventory for later use.  Company departments and staff request, from time time,  office supplies items, how to handle this as internal requisition. Such requests require approval to issue it from the inventory. How can we handle this using the standard purchase module, or is there any other way to handle this without custom code?

Hi,
since consumable product assumes that you always have enough stock on hand "there is no need to check availability on the system".
1. you could use approval app"standard" to request quantities from different departments -> you can add multiple users to check the order and approve.
2. after confiriming you could use this approved record as document to request from stock.

Here i Assume About odoo 14

In Odoo 14, you can use the internal requisition feature to handle the approval process for consumable items that are used for internal company purposes.

To use this feature, you will need to set up an internal requisition route on the product template for the consumable items. This route defines the approval process that will be followed when a request is made for the consumable item.

Here is an example of how you can set up an internal requisition route on a product template:

Go to the product template form for the consumable item (Inventory > Products > Products > select the product > Edit).
In the "Procurements" tab, click on the "Add an item" button.
In the "Procurement Method" field, select "Make to Order".
In the "Route" field, select the internal requisition route (e.g. "Internal Requisition").
Save the changes to the product template.
With this setup, when a request is made for the consumable item, an internal requisition will be created and the approval process defined in the internal requisition route will be followed.

If you do not have an internal requisition route set up in your Odoo instance, you can create one by going to Inventory > Configuration > Routes and clicking on the "Create" button.
