Key Features

One-click CoA generation from the quality-check measurements Odoo already records against a stock.lot or stock.serial, so no data is ever re-typed
Specification profiles as first-class Odoo records: per parameter define method, unit, lower/upper limit, target, and reporting decimal precision
Automatic spec-vs-result comparison with a computed pass/fail verdict per parameter using stored @api.depends fields that recalculate when a measurement or limit changes
Overall lot disposition (Pass / Fail / Conditional Release) rolled up from all parameter verdicts, blocking a passing certificate when any critical parameter is out of spec
Customer-specific spec profiles — the same product can carry tighter limits or extra parameters for one customer, resolved automatically by product + partner
Branded, print-ready QWeb PDF CoA templates matched to your letterhead, logo, signatory block, and regulatory footer (batch number, manufacture/expiry dates, retest date)
Auto-attach the generated CoA to the delivery order (stock.picking) and/or customer invoice (account.move) via an automated action when the picking is validated
Per-parameter reporting rules — show as tested, report as '<LOQ', round to method precision, or mark N/D — so the printed certificate reads the way your industry expects
Multi-parameter and multi-method support: physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters grouped into sections on one certificate
CoA versioning and revision history — reissue a corrected certificate with a new revision number while keeping the superseded copy in the chatter audit trail
Approval workflow with record rules: shop-floor captures results, QA reviews and signs off, and only approved CoAs can be printed or emailed
Manufacturing lot linkage — pull the CoA straight from the Manufacturing Order or Inventory lot form, with a smart button showing certificate status at a glance
XML-RPC / JSON-RPC endpoints so an external LIMS, a customer portal, or EDI can fetch the finished certificate PDF and structured results
Optional scheduled ir.cron sweep that generates CoAs for validated deliveries in bulk and flags any lot missing required measurements before it can ship
Full audit trail on every CoA via Odoo's mail.thread chatter — who ran it, when, against which spec revision, and every reissue

About this Product

If you ship spec-controlled lots in chemical, food, or pharma, every outbound shipment needs a Certificate of Analysis that proves the lot met specification — and today your team is almost certainly rebuilding that document by hand in Excel or Word, copying quality-check numbers, re-typing customer limits, and hoping nobody transposes a digit before it reaches a regulated customer.

The Quality Certificate of Analysis (CoA) Generator is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs, and supports for you. It reads the quality measurements Odoo already captures against a lot/serial number and produces a branded, print-ready CoA in one click — with each specification parameter shown next to its measured result and an automatic pass/fail verdict against the limits that apply to that product and that customer.

This is not an app you download and self-install. It is a net-new module we engineer against your Quality (quality_control) and Inventory (stock) data model, wire into your delivery and invoicing flow, and hand over as clean, documented source you own. Typical delivery is one working week depending on how many product families, parameter sets, and customer-specific spec profiles you run.

Technically, the module adds its own Odoo models (models.Model) for specification profiles and CoA documents, links them to stock.lot and stock.picking, and computes pass/fail with stored @api.depends fields so the verdict recalculates whenever a measurement or limit changes. Access is locked down with ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so QA can approve while shop-floor users only read. The certificate itself is a QWeb PDF report you can brand to your letterhead, and an automated action (or optional scheduled ir.cron) can generate and attach the CoA to the delivery order the moment the picking is validated. Everything is exposed over Odoo's XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API so an upstream LIMS or a customer portal can pull the finished certificate. It runs on Odoo 17, 18, and 19, and we build to whatever edition you run — Community or Enterprise — using the Quality apps available to you (with a lightweight measurement layer if you are on Community without the Enterprise Quality module).

The result: your QA team stops re-keying results, your certificates are mathematically consistent with the ERP record, and a compliant CoA travels with every lot automatically instead of being chased down after the truck has left.

What you get

  • Complete, documented Odoo module source (the addon directory with __manifest__.py, models, security, views, and QWeb report) — installed on your server and yours to keep and modify
  • Configured specification profiles for your initial product families and any customer-specific spec overrides captured during requirements
  • Branded QWeb PDF CoA template(s) built to your letterhead, logo, signatory block, and regulatory footer, print-tested on real lots
  • Security configuration — ir.model.access.csv access rights and record rules for QA-approver, shop-floor, and read-only roles mapped to your groups
  • Automated action / ir.cron wiring so certificates attach to deliveries and invoices automatically in your flow
  • XML-RPC / JSON-RPC integration notes and a working example if a LIMS, portal, or EDI hand-off is in scope
  • Admin + end-user documentation and a live handover training session for QA and warehouse staff (recorded on request)
  • Deployment on Odoo 17, 18, or 19 (Community or Enterprise) in your staging environment, then production cutover with a post-go-live support window and a source handover to your Git

Who this is for

QA / QC Manager at a process manufacturer

Owns release-to-ship decisions and signs the certificate. Wants pass/fail computed from the ERP record, not hand-copied numbers, so a wrong limit or transposed digit can never reach a regulated customer, and wants a clean audit trail of who approved which spec revision.

Chemical / food / pharma production & shipping lead

Needs a compliant CoA to travel with every lot the moment the delivery is validated — no chasing the lab or rebuilding documents in Excel after the truck is loaded. Cares that the certificate attaches to the delivery order automatically.

ERP / IT manager running Odoo

Wants the CoA logic native to Odoo's Quality and Inventory models — proper models, security via record rules, a QWeb report, and API access for the LIMS — delivered as clean documented source the team owns, on the Odoo version and edition already in production.

Frequently Asked Questions about Quality Certificate of Analysis (CoA) Generator

How long until the CoA generator is live, and is this something I download and install myself?

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant apps.odoo.com download — you never install it yourself. ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs, and supports it for you. Typical delivery is one working week from a confirmed spec, depending on how many product families, parameter sets, and customer-specific profiles you run and whether a LIMS/portal integration is in scope. We build in a staging environment first, print-test against your real lots, then do a controlled production cutover.

What do I get for support and updates after go-live?

Every engagement includes a post-go-live support window for bug fixes and questions, and we hand over clean, documented source into your Git so nothing is locked to us. We build and test the module against Odoo 17, 18, and 19; when you upgrade your Odoo version we offer a compatibility/upgrade pass so the module and its QWeb report keep working. Ongoing enhancements — new parameters, extra customer specs, additional report layouts — are available under a support retainer or fixed-scope change request.

Does this work on Odoo Community, or do I need Enterprise Quality?

Both. If you run Enterprise with the Quality (quality_control) app, we build directly on the quality checks and measurements you already capture against each lot. If you are on Community without the Enterprise Quality module, we add a lightweight measurement-capture layer on the lot so results still flow into the same specification and pass/fail engine. The certificate, spec profiles, and API behave identically either way.

How is the pass/fail decision calculated, and can it be wrong?

Pass/fail is computed in Odoo, not typed by a person. Each specification parameter carries a lower/upper limit (and optional target and method precision), and a stored computed field — using @api.depends on the measured result and the applicable limits — evaluates each parameter and rolls the results up to an overall lot disposition. Because it is driven by the same data the ERP holds, the printed certificate is always mathematically consistent with the record. If a measurement or a customer limit changes, the verdict recalculates automatically.

Can the same product carry different specs for different customers?

Yes. Specification profiles are resolved by product and, when present, by customer, so one product can ship against your internal release spec for most customers and a tighter or extended spec for a specific customer — extra parameters, narrower limits, or different reporting rules. The generator picks the correct profile automatically when it builds the CoA for that delivery.

Will the certificate attach to shipments and reach my LIMS automatically?

Yes. An automated action generates and attaches the branded PDF CoA to the delivery order (and optionally the invoice) when the picking is validated, and an optional scheduled ir.cron can sweep validated deliveries in bulk and flag any lot missing a required measurement before it can ship. The finished certificate and its structured results are exposed over Odoo's XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API, so an external LIMS, a customer portal, or EDI can pull them without manual export.
