During the audit, suppliers may respond to your flagged comments or update their documents. Properly managing these interactions ensures a smooth review process and maintains the integrity and traceability of the audit.
How To
Handling Back-and-Forth Updates
Suppliers can mark documents back to Pending after addressing your comments.
You will receive notifications when a supplier responds or updates a document.
Reassess each document carefully and provide additional comments if necessary.
Ensure all communication and changes are documented for audit traceability.
Reassessing Documents
Monitor your notifications for updates in response to your comments.
Review the changes and update the document status as needed:
Flagged – if issues remain
Reviewed – if the document now meets all requirements
Repeat this process until all flagged items are resolved.
Completing or Rejecting a Framework
Once all documents have been reviewed and resolved, update the framework status:
Completed – if all requirements are met
Rejected – if the framework does not meet requirements and cannot be approved
After completing the framework, the audit can proceed to the final report stage.
