9.3. Execute the Action (Not Internal)

If an external or supplier action item is initiated, the specified owner or representative will receive an email notification prompting them to execute it.

*If the action item involves a Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR), the standard execution will be bypassed; instead, the supplier representative will be notified to investigate the SCAR.

Clicking on the button in the email will direct users to the Execute the Action (Not Internal) form. In this form, users can choose to accept or reject the assigned action. If they accept, they must provide observations on the action’s execution and upload any necessary supporting files.

*For guidance on common form functions, please refer to the dedicated section in the manual.

1. Accordions: The form includes several collapsible sections, known as accordions, which each serve a specific purpose.
   • Associated Documents
   • Budget
   • Additional Information
   • Enter Observations and/or Attach Evidence
2. Comment: This field allows users to add comments or notes relevant to the action execution.
   

   **The Comment control functions similarly to a discussion board, enabling users to initiate and participate in collaborative discussions with stakeholders involved in the workflow.

3. Refuse Action: This button allows users to decline the assigned action.
   • If selected, the action will be returned to its creator for handling.
4. Action Complete: This button allows users to submit the completed action.
   • If selected, the assigned action completion reviewer will be tasked with signing off on the action.
