Bypass quality checks

EnhancementEnterprise only

Quality admin users can validate inventory transfers without performing quality checks.
Official Odoo 20 release note

In plain words

Users in the Quality Administrator group can now validate a transfer that still has open quality checks. For them the Validate button stays available (shown as a secondary button while checks are pending) and the checks are skipped; other users still have to complete the checks first.

Inventory > Operations > Receipts > WH/IN/00013On a receipt with pending quality checks, the Validate button is still available to the quality administrator (secondary style) next to the Quality Checks button.

Where to find it

Log in as a Quality Administrator.
Inventory > Operations > Receipts, open a receipt that has quality checks to do.
Click Validate.

For users

Quality administrators can push a receipt or delivery through without doing every check.

For developers

stock.picking gets a computed validate_button_style (primary / secondary / invisible) used by two Validate buttons; quality_control._check_for_quality_checks() returns nothing for quality.group_quality_manager, so _action_done() no longer raises for them. Same pattern for manufacturing orders and repairs.

Upgrading from Odoo 19

Custom views that hid the Validate button behind quality_check_todo should use validate_button_style instead.

Failure location

EnhancementEnterprise only

Set the "Failure Location" from the form view of quality checks when a check fails.
Official Odoo 20 release note

In plain words

When a check fails from the quality check form, a "Quality Check Failed" dialog now lets you pick the Failure Location among the locations set on the control point, and the failed goods are redirected there. Before, this was only possible from the check wizard on the transfer.

Quality > Quality Control > Quality Checks > QC00006 > FailThe failure dialog opened from the check form, with the Failure Location choice (Quarantine or Scrap Area).

Where to find it

Quality > Configuration > Control Points: set Failure Locations on a control point.
Quality > Quality Control > Quality Checks, open a check of that point.
Click Fail.

For users

Quality users can send failed items to quarantine straight from the check.

For developers

quality.check.do_fail() opens the quality.check.wizard failure form (context from_failure_form) when the control point has failure locations or the check is per move line; the wizard then calls _move_to_failure_location().

Upgrading from Odoo 19

None.

Demo data: internal locations WH/Quarantine and WH/Scrap Area were created and set as failure locations on control point QCP00017. The dialog was closed without confirming.
