+====================
+Base Tier Validation
+====================
+
+This module does not provide a functionality by itself but an abstract model
+to implement a validation process based on tiers on other models (e.g.
+purchase orders, sales orders...).
+
+**Note:** To be able to use this module in a new model you will need some
+development.
+
+See `purchase_tier_validation <https://github
+.com/OCA/purchase-workflow>`_ as an example of implementation.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+To configure this module, you need to:
+
+#. Go to *Settings > Technical > Tier Validations > Tier Definition*.
+#. Create as many tiers as you want for any model having tier validation
+   functionality.

+
+Known issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+* In odoo v11 it would be interesting to try to take advantage of ``mail.activity.mixin``.
