Create the finding record

Describe the unmet requirement, evidence gap, severity, affected supplier scope and source of the finding.

Separate containment from root cause

Immediate containment may reduce exposure while the supplier investigates why the issue occurred. Both should be visible.

Require corrective evidence

A status of complete should be supported by evidence showing the corrective action was implemented, not just a supplier statement.

Verify closure

A reviewer should confirm effectiveness and close the CAPA with a timestamp and decision history.
