Quality control points can be created from there. Add a title for the quality control point. Adding quality checks for products, product categories, and operations is possible. Add the company name, quality team, responsible person, etc.

The instructions about the quality check can be added inside the Instructions tab. If the quality check fails, a message can be shown. This message can be added inside the Message Failure tab. Additional notes are also added in the Notes tab.

Control per product, Operation, and quantity are available. If we choose an operation, then the quality check is requested at the operation level. Quality check is done at the product level by choosing the product. If the quantity is selected, then the quality check is requested for each new quantity registered, with partial quality checks also possible. Let's check each one separately later.

Different types of quality checks can be performed, based on the type of product.

An Overview of Quality Checks & Quality Alerts With Odoo 16 Quality Module-cybrosys

Control Per Operation: The quality check happens on the operation. So Every time the chosen operation is performed, the quality checks will be done, which does not depend on the product. 

Here created a Control point. Control per is Operation. So the operation Return is mentioned on the Operation field. The quality check type is ‘Take a Picture’. 

The quality checking type is Take a picture, which means if any customer returns the product, the user must add a picture to check the quality of the returned product. No product is mentioned here, which means it is for every product inside the company for the operation ‘Returns.’

So let's create a Return operation. It is very easy by using the Inventory module. Go to the inventory module from the Operations tab and click the Transfer option.

: Inventory > Operations > Transfer

Then click on the NEW button. The created transfer said that the customer, Anita Oliver wishes to return the product ‘Toy’ of 1 quantity. The product is moved to the company stock location. To start the transfer, click the MARK AS TODO button.

The output of quality checking shows that there are no issues with the product. So the user can validate the process. A green-colored smart tab named Quality Checks is shown there, the green color indicates that the quality check passed.

If any customer returns any product to the company, the user needs to check these quality checks because the control-point is per the Operation, so the quality check happens on every Return Operation.

Control Per Product: In this case, the quality checks happen on the product. This means here we mentioned an operation and a product. So when the mentioned operation happens on the mentioned product, a quality check is mandatory there to complete the operation.

Here created a new Quality control point for the product Acoustic Bloc Screen. The title was added as ‘Quality Control Point on Acoustic Bloc Screen’ and choose the product name in the section. The operation chosen is Internal transfer. This means when an internal transfer is created for the product Acoustic Bloc Screen, it will transfer from the source location to the destination only after completing the Quality Checks per product.

An Overview of Quality Checks & Quality Alerts With Odoo 16 Quality Module-cybrosys

Control per product and control frequency ‘All’ is mentioned here. The quality type picked is Instruction, so the instructions can be added in the Instructions tab. Save the control point.

Create a new internal transfer for that particular product. So move to the inventory module and choose the Transfers option from the Operations tab.

: Operations > Transfers > NEW

Here, an internal transfer is created. The product wants to transfer from the Stock location to Shelf 1. So the operation type is Internal transfer. Two quantities of Acoustic Bloc screens are added inside the Operations tab. To do the process, click on the MARK AS TO DO button.

Now the transfer is directly moved to the Ready stage from the Draft stage. The Waiting stage is skipped here because the stock location contains the necessary quantity of product. A new button, QUALITY CHECKS will appear there. This is because we added a control point.

Click on that button to check the quality of the product. Then a popup window will appear with the same title which we gave inside the Quality Control Point. The instructions are also visible there. The user has a chance to add some additional notes about the quality check. Then Validate it.

Here the control per Product is set inside the  Control Point. So this particular quality check happens only if an internal transfer of the Acoustic Bloc Screen happens.

Control Per Quantity: In this type, the quality checks will happen on each quantity of product. Sometimes the user needs to check the entire quantity to analyze the quality, or sometimes a percentage of the mentioned quantity only goes to the quality checks to analyze the quality of entire products. In both cases, this type can be used.

The control point is created for the operation Receipt. The Control per is defined as ‘Quantity’. So here, each quantity of the received should be checked.

An Overview of Quality Checks & Quality Alerts With Odoo 16 Quality Module-cybrosys

If the Control per Quantity is chosen, then an additional option will appear there, which is a Partial Transfer Test. If we only need to check the partial quantity of received goods. Here Partial Transfer Test is disabled, so the user needs to check each quantity.

The Type chosen here is the measure. So measurements like Norm and Tolerance are added here. The measurement of the received goods should be in between the given tolerance to pass the quality check.

Let's create a new receipt from the transfers option. So again, go to the inventory module for that. The created receipt is from the Vendor Anita Oliver. 10 quantities of Table is the product. So click the MARK AS TO   DO button.

An Overview of Quality Checks & Quality Alerts With Odoo 16 Quality Module-cybrosys

The product is traceable, so a lot number LOT: 001 is added for the 10 quantities. So before validating, complete the quality checks.

Here, the quantity is 10. Add the measurement. The measurement should be between 1 to 10. Then validate the quality checks.

Sometimes there is no need to check the entire quantity to ensure the quantity of received goods. In such cases, they enable the Partial Transfer Test. Here the same quality control point is updated.

The Partial Transfer Test is enabled. Then another field, "Percentage’, appears there. There 50% is added. This means 50% of the total quantity is only needed to check the quality.
