Corrective Action
A corrective action addresses the cause of a nonconformance to prevent recurrence.
Definition
In general ERP practice
A corrective action addresses the cause of a nonconformance to prevent recurrence. It differs from immediate correction, such as replacing one defective item.
In Odoo
Odoo Quality Alerts provide fields and workflow for recording causes and corrective or preventive actions. Responsibilities and completion criteria must be defined by the team; moving an alert to a finished stage should follow evidence that the action was completed.
Official Odoo documentation
The Odoo-specific explanation above is based on the documentation for Odoo 19. Features and workflows can differ in other versions.
