I don't believe the Odoo system is the problem. Odoo has a scrap management and disassembly solution. You can rework any production orders and inspect the quality.

To achieve the scenario you've described in Odoo 16, where a manufacturing order passes through 10 work orders, undergoes a quality check after the first five work orders, and proceeds based on the result, you can leverage Odoo's quality control features and work order routing capabilities.

In this scenario I would have choosen to use multilevel manufacturing: After processing operation 5 - post seminifished to stock/qualitycheck location.  After QA check, a new production order where the semifinished product is a component if it passes the test. If not pass the test, either scrap or refurbish order.  Refurbish order (process 4 and 5) should again deliver to stock (I think. (I think there is an app for repair, that might be used.)

Hope this helps you.

I don't think the issue lies with the Odoo system. Odoo provides a system for dismantling and controlling scrap. You can check the quality and redo any production orders.
