_name = "bpl.work.update"
_description = "BPL Work Update"
_columns = {
'bpl_company_id':fields.many2one('res.company', 'Company',
help='Company'),
'ref_no': fields.char('Reference No', size=10,),
'offered_date': fields.date('Offered Date'),
# below lines are related to work update approve Workflow (i refer
hr.holidays model for )
'state': fields.selection([('draft', 'To Submit'), ('cancel',
'Cancelled'), ('confirm', 'To Approve'), ('refuse', 'Refused'),
('validate1', 'Second Approval'), ('validate', 'Approved')],
'Status', readonly=True, track_visibility='onchange'),
'user_id': fields.many2one('hr.employee', 'Add records',
invisible=False, readonly=True),
'manager_id': fields.many2one('hr.employee', 'First Approval',
invisible=False, readonly=True),

}
_defaults = {
'bpl_company_id':_default_company,

You can refer this link :

http://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/developer/07_workflows.html
You need to create a new workflow.xml file where you need to define first Workflow for which object you are
creating, Different Activities that you want to show in that workflow and Different Transitions between
Activities. First you refer above link, understand it and after go for developing it.

You did right thing by assigning type="workflow" in button. Here, name of button is working as a signal in
transition. It means that If your flow will get the signal, It will go for checking it in transition and from
transition, it will trigger the function of that activity for which, transition is created.
