Capabilities

What this module handles

Saudi companies still print a quotation, sign it, stamp it, scan it and send it back, or accept a WhatsApp "ok" that proves nothing in a dispute, while the Electronic Transactions Law has recognised electronic records and signatures since 2007. Odoo Sign places signature, date and text fields on a template once, sends requests to signers in order, and stores the signed PDF with a certificate and audit log next to the quotation in Odoo Sales or the employee record.

  • Templates with reusable field layouts and signer roles for quotations, contracts, NDAs and HR forms.
  • Sequential or parallel signers reached by email or a shared link, with no Odoo account required.
  • Automatic reminders and status tracking, so pending signatures are chased without manual follow-up.
  • Signed PDF with an audit log of identity, timestamps and IP address, plus a completion certificate.
  • Signature requests started from sales orders, employee records, recruitment and purchase agreements.
  • Drawn, typed or uploaded signature on any device, including a tablet at the branch.
  • Signer authentication by email, or by SMS code where stronger identity evidence is wanted.
  • Signed documents filed automatically in Odoo Documents against the related record.
Saudi ready

Built for how business runs in Saudi Arabia

Documents and signing pages work in Arabic and English, with notifications sent in the signer's language, so a bilingual contract with Arabic prevailing is signed by both parties from one request. Every signature carries a time-stamped audit trail that supports the Electronic Transactions Law's recognition of electronic records, and the data stays in your Odoo instance under your access rules, which helps with PDPL. Naqlah, an Odoo Gold Partner in Saudi Arabia, helps you decide which documents belong in Odoo Sign, which need a certified digital signature through an integrated licensed provider such as Signit, and which still go through Qiwa.

The right level for the document
Odoo Sign covers commercial and HR paperwork such as quotations, supplier agreements, offer letters and policy acknowledgements. Employment contracts still go through Qiwa and Najiz, and where a document needs a certified digital signature, Naqlah connects Odoo to a licensed Saudi provider such as Signit, so the signed file still lands on the Odoo record.

Audit trail on every signature
Who signed, when, from which address and which version of the document are recorded and sealed in the completion certificate. In a dispute, you present the log rather than a scanned image.

No account needed
Customers, suppliers and new hires sign from a link on their phone without creating an Odoo login. A travelling signer or an expatriate hire abroad completes the document the same day.

How it connects

How does a quotation get signed in Odoo without a printer or a scanner?

1. Sales sends the request
From the confirmed quotation, the salesperson chooses the bilingual template and sends the signature request to the customer's authorised signatory, with Naqlah's own signer added if a counter-signature is needed.

2. The signer reviews and signs
The customer opens the link on any device, reads the document in Arabic or English, fills the required fields and signs by drawing, typing or uploading a signature.

3. Reminders chase pending signers
If a signer has not acted, automatic reminders go out on the schedule you set, and the order shows the live status so sales does not chase by phone.

4. The signed PDF is filed
The signed document and its certificate attach to the sales order and file into Odoo Documents, where access rules and retention apply, and the same flow serves supplier agreements raised from Odoo Purchase.

Implementation

What Naqlah configures in your implementation

  1. Build bilingual templates. We prepare templates for quotations, contracts, NDAs and HR documents with Arabic and English field labels and signer roles.
  2. Define signer roles and order. Each template gets its roles, the signing sequence and whether a company counter-signature is required.
  3. Set reminders and expiry. Reminder frequency and request expiry are configured so unsigned requests do not linger.
  4. Connect templates to records. Templates are linked to Sales, Employees, Recruitment and Purchase so requests start from the record with fields pre-filled.
  5. Configure filing and access. Signed documents file into the right Documents workspace with access and retention rules matching your PDPL policy.
  6. Set authentication and train. Email or SMS authentication is set per template, and sales and HR teams are trained on sending and tracking requests.

Timelines depend on the number of templates and the records they attach to, and Naqlah gives you a clear roadmap in the first consultation.
