This activity is used to enter audit findings. Both general notes for general audit findings and internal notes for internal audit findings can be entered. General notes can be viewed by anybody with access to the audit record while internal notes are confidential and can only be viewed by internal auditors. If any non conformances are identified during the audit, these should be reported by clicking Create NCR in the order header or in the Focus Area section. After audit findings have been entered and necessary non conformances have been created the next step is to change the status of the audit to Completed. First click Complete for each focus area in the Focus Area section to complete each individual focus area. Then click Complete in the header to complete the audit.
An audit in the Scheduled state must exist and the audit must have been performed.
As a result of this activity, audit findings are entered and the audit status is updated to Completed.
