Follow-up and corrections

A follow-up action belongs to a packet and names a person responsible for the next step. Its due date and status make unfinished work visible; its resolution and completion time explain how it ended. State history records the earlier and later packet status, source revision, operation key, actor and reason. Together, these records help the team correct an executed revision without erasing the event and decision that came before it.

• Assignment. Name the person responsible for the open action and its due date.
• Resolution. Record what was done before marking an action completed.
• History. Preserve the old revision and explain the successor change.

Agree which exceptions need a follow-up action and who may close it. Decide how an executed packet is superseded, including the reason, signer event and fresh review. Keep prior successful operation steps and confirmed evidence available for investigation. A new revision should be linked to the original work by packet identity and explained in the change history.

A signer’s name is found to be wrong after an executed packet is reviewed. The owner records the reason and prepares a successor revision. The earlier signed event and receipt stay in the record; a compensating signer event explains the correction. A follow-up owner checks the new evidence and records the resolution. The reviewer then examines the changed revision before any further sending. A later audit can follow both decisions and see why the packet moved forward.

The handoff should be checked on a real packet, not just on a status label. Open the linked record and compare the people, revision and provider evidence behind the decision. If the record is returned or uncertain, keep it visible to the person responsible for the next action. The next team should be able to explain what was received, what was accepted and why the packet changed state.

The action should identify the person who will verify the correction, not only the person who noticed the problem. Keep its due date and status current while the owner prepares the successor revision. Compare the new signer event and review decision with the earlier signed evidence before closing the action. The resolution should explain what changed and which provider result was checked. State history gives the team a way to trace the transition, while the retained prior event and operation steps show what actually happened on the earlier revision.
