9.1.2. Quality Event Triggered from Audit Application

In the final stage of the Plan & Execute Audits workflow, the audit team leader can choose to trigger a quality event for selected observations linked to the audit plan.

Before triggering the quality event, the team leader must designate a party (user, role, or group) to act as the reviewer. The selected party will be assigned the Review the Issue task. Details about the audit plan and the selected observations associated with the audit plan will be included in this task.

*For more information on how to trigger a quality event directly from the Audit application, click here. For further guidance on the Audit application in general, refer to the User Manual for the Audit Application.

In the Review the Issue form, the following automatic configurations will be applied:

• The name of the quality event will be set to ‘Event from Audit Plan – [Audit Plan ID – Audit Plan Name],’ indicating its source.
• The ID of the quality event will be designated as ‘QE-AF-[No.].’
• The event type will be set to Audit Finding (Internal).
  • The Event Type field will be disabled to prevent further modifications.
• The Audit Plan ID (Internal) field will be disabled
  • It will retain the applicable value generated in the Audit application.
• The Audit Information accordion will be visible, containing the relevant audit details.
  

*When triggered directly from the Audit application, the event type Audit Finding is represented in the Quality Event ID by the abbreviation AF. When a quality event is created independently, however, Audit Finding is represented by the abbreviation AFI or AFE—depending on if it is internal or external.
