Traditional pass/fail or measurement-based quality control points may not always meet the nuanced evaluation criteria required in visual or subjective quality checks — such as color grading, texture evaluation, or visual inspection standards.
The Selection-Based Attribute Evaluation feature brings new flexibility to Odoo’s Quality module by allowing teams to define custom attributes and selectable values for Quality Control Points (QCPs), with logic that automatically determines if the result passes or fails based on the configured correct value.
Key Features & Benefits:
New QCP Type: "Selection"
- Adds a new “Selection” option in the Quality Control Point Type dropdown
- Designed for evaluations requiring subjective or categorical selection (e.g., Color, Texture, Grade)
Attribute & Value Table Setup
- When “Selection” is chosen, a table appears (similar to Odoo’s Product Attributes)
- Define a single attribute (e.g., Color)
- Add multiple values (e.g., Light Pink, Moderate Pink, Dark Pink)
One Correct Value (Auto Evaluation Logic)
- Mark one value as the correct/expected result
-
During the quality check:
- If the selected value matches the correct value → QCP passes
- If not → QCP fails
- Replicates the logic of Pass/Fail, but for custom categorical data
Enhances Visual & Subjective QC Accuracy
- Ideal for color grading, visual inspection, or appearance-based quality metrics
- Removes ambiguity and ensures consistency across evaluations
Seamless Integration with QCP Workflow
- Triggered like any other QCP type
- Selection values appear as a dropdown during quality check entry
- No manual typing, reducing input errors
Fully Compatible with Odoo v17
- Works with all other QCP types and reporting flows
- Cleanly extends standard quality control configuration
Example Use Case:
A cosmetics manufacturer checks the color consistency of a lipstick batch.
They create a Quality Control Point with:
- Type: Selection
- Attribute: Color
- Values: Light Pink, Moderate Pink, Dark Pink
- Correct Value: Moderate Pink
During production, the quality team selects the color seen on the batch. If they choose Moderate Pink, the check passes. Any other choice results in failure, ensuring objective grading.
Summary:
The Selection-Based Attribute Evaluation feature enhances Odoo’s quality control capabilities by allowing teams to configure custom attribute-based evaluations with clear pass/fail outcomes. It supports use cases where visual judgment or category-based grading is required, and improves consistency, accuracy, and traceability in your quality process.
