In the final stage of the Plan & Execute Audits workflow, the audit team leader can choose to trigger a CAPA for the audit plan.
*For more details on how to trigger a CAPA directly from the Audit application, click here. For more details on the Audit application in general, see the User Manual for the Audit Application.
Before triggering the CAPA, the team leader will need to select a user to be the reviewer. This user will then automatically be assigned the Review CAPA task. Details about the audit plan and the selected observations associated with the audit plan will be included in this task.
!When a CAPA is triggered from the Audit application, its ID will be unique but not sequential to the ID created when a CAPA is triggered independently or from the Quality Event application. For example, if the CAPA is created independently, its ID will take the next available value (max ID +1). It will not, however, follow the sequence for CAPAs created in the Audit application.
In the Review CAPA form, the event type will automatically be set to Audit Finding (Internal). The Event Type field will be disabled, preventing any modifications. The Audit Plan ID (Internal) field will also be disabled, but it will contain the applicable value previously generated in the Audit application.
*When triggered directly from the Audit application, the event type Audit Finding is represented in the CAPA ID by the abbreviation AF. When a CAPA is created independently, however, Audit Finding is represented by the abbreviation AFI or AFE—depending on if it is internal or external.
