Nonconformities

Reported, contained, root cause (with a named method), action taken, effectiveness check, closed: the order of clause 10.2

For ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001 and 20000, with origins, procedures, causes, analysis, severity (unfounded, minor, major), an immediate action and an action plan

Quality alerts, with a "Root Cause" field

An NCR in one click from a failed checklist line; "5 Whys" root cause

Actions and their effectiveness

A correction or a corrective action; "done" needs evidence and sets an effectiveness check a month later, asked for daily until answered; "not effective" sends the nonconformity back to root cause, and it closes only once every action has been judged

Immediate, corrective and preventive actions; mgmtsystem_quality says to "Evaluate the effectiveness of your action plan before closing NC"

"Corrective Actions" and "Preventive Actions" tabs on the alert

CAPA tasks linked to project tasks, with an effectiveness check 30 days out by default; an NCR closes only when every CAPA is "verified effective"

Internal audits

Scope, clauses, lead auditor, auditees and conclusion; an auditor cannot be an auditee; no closing while findings are open; findings become linked nonconformities

Auditors and printable verification lists; the audit ends with strong points, points to improve, improvement opportunities and nonconformities, then a report

Not described

Audit programmes with checklist templates; ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 clause libraries

Management review

The 9.3.2 inputs as fields; the period's figures computed; at least one output to close

Persons, policies, KPI and survey results, and decisions logged with an action or a nonconformity; a printable report

Not described

A management review with a KPI snapshot

Also covered

Recurrence: a repeat nonconformity points back at the earlier one

A quality manual, procedures, work instructions and a satisfaction survey; add-ons for hazards, health and safety, environment and claims; product inspections in quality_control_oca

Quality checks and control points in inventory and manufacturing, inspection frequency, failure locations; a vendor quality rate on 20.0

Document control with versions and training acknowledgment; a risk and opportunity register; quality objectives; supplier evaluations; complaints with an SLA and a portal; calibration; cost of quality; electronic signatures and a tamper-evident audit trail

Left out, as each page says

Document and record control (the manual points to BambooForge DMS); risk and opportunity registers (clause 6.1); certification: "The app records the system; it does not certify it."

On the roadmap of mgmtsystem_quality: images in documentation, KPIs, employee training, equipment management

Needs

base and mail; no extra Python package; Community or Enterprise

Nonconformities need document_page from OCA/knowledge; audits need base_automation

Inventory; on 20.0 also spreadsheet_edition

Discuss and Project; three optional bridges (Sales and Purchase, Inventory and Manufacturing, Enterprise Quality) install automatically

Choose which, and when

  • Choose OCA's management-system modules if you run 16.0 to 19.0 and want free AGPL-3 modules for nonconformities, audits and reviews, with nonconformities for ISO 14001, 27001, 45001 and 20000 as well as 9001, and you can install the document pages from OCA/knowledge they rely on. They are marked Beta and have no 20.0 build today.

  • Choose OCA's quality_control_oca if what you need is product inspection - tests made of qualitative and quantitative questions, with a failed inspection sent for approval - at no licence cost, on 16.0 to 19.0.

  • Choose Odoo's Quality app if you are on Enterprise and quality lives in your warehouse and production: quality checks, control points, inspection frequency, and quality alerts with a root cause and corrective and preventive actions.

  • Choose Odoo DevHouse ISO Compliance if you run 17.0 to 20.0, can install Project, and want one app that also holds document control with electronic signatures, a risk register, supplier evaluations, a complaints portal and calibration, with ISO 14001 and 45001 libraries.

  • Choose ours if you are on any of Odoo 16.0 to 20.0, Community or Enterprise, and want ISO 9001 clauses 10.2, 9.2 and 9.3 kept in the order the standard asks, with the checks enforced (every action judged before a nonconformity closes, no auditor on their own audit, no review closed without an output) on base and mail alone. Document control, a risk register (clause 6.1) and certification itself are not part of it.
