Hi,

To effectively manage defects and replacements when a table leg is found to be defective during the second operation of your table manufacturing process in Odoo, a proactive approach using quality control points is recommended. Begin by setting up quality control points at each operation (tabletop completion and table leg completion) to catch defects early. When a defect is identified, create a quality alert in Odoo, halting the production process and recording the specifics of the defect, including the component, operation, and defect type.

Next, scrap the defective table leg using the Scrap button in the Manufacturing Order (MO). This action removes the defective component from inventory. To replace the component, you have two options: either adjust the original MO to add the necessary raw material for a new table leg, or create a separate MO specifically for the replacement, linking it to the original MO for traceability.

After producing the replacement table leg, ensure accurate inventory by verifying the removal of the scrapped component and the addition of the replacement. Odoo automatically tracks the costs associated with the defect and replacement, recording the scrapped component's cost as a loss and adding the replacement's cost to the finished table. Finally, continue with the final assembly operation once the replacement table leg is available. This process ensures accurate inventory, cost tracking, and quality control throughout your manufacturing process.

Hope it helps
