Exceptions and changes

Deviations belongs to a batch and can reference Equipment; capa actions can reference a deviation. Change controls can reference a product or supplier.

Release evidence

Release decisions belongs to a batch and can reference its product. Operation receipts can reference the batch whose operation was performed.

Reference data

Equipment and Suppliers hold current readiness and qualification information. Users holds account records.

Keys and references

Batch number identifies the manufacturing lot, while the Product reference links it to a product. Deviation number, capa number, change number, decision code and receipt number identify their own records. The links between them should be checked during import: a matching text label is not the same as a reference to the correct record.

Migration order

  1. Enter Products, Equipment and Suppliers.
  2. Enter quality specifications against the intended Products.
  3. Enter Batches against Products.
  4. Enter test results, Deviations and change controls with their references.
  5. Enter capa actions against the corresponding Deviations.
  6. Enter release decisions and operation receipts against the appropriate Batches.
