Hi Odoo Community,

I am using Odoo 18 Community Edition and want to implement a two-step approval process for leave requests in the Time Off module.

Currently, the system allows only a single approval (by the employee’s manager), but I want a workflow like this:

1. Employee submits a leave request.
2. First Approver (Team Lead) reviews and approves → request moves to "Second Approval" state.
3. Second Approver (HR Manager) gives final approval → request becomes validated.

My questions:

• Is this feature available in Odoo 18 Community out-of-the-box (and I’m missing a setting)?
• If not, is there any recommended way or OCA module to achieve this?
• Alternatively, what’s the best approach to customize the hr.leave workflow to add a Second Approval step?

Any code snippets, module suggestions, or guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
