Corrective / Preventive Action Code

Corrective / Preventive Action Codes provide a means of assigning an action to complete the Corrective Action form (also referred to as a CAR) in the Quality Application and tie it to the Returns / Reworks & Customer Feedback forms.

Corrective Actions are only available for use if the Quality Application has been purchased. For information about the Quality Application, please contact sales at 1-800 525 2143.

ClosedRecord Header - Corrective / Preventive Action Code

The Record Header located at the top of the page indicates which specific record has been selected and for what purpose (new, edit, quick view) and displays record specific Action Buttons (discussed below.)

For more information see User Interface.

Action Buttons
Save (button)

This button is used to close the record and save any changes that have been made while it was open. In addition, the dropdown button allows you to Save and:

  • Close - close the open record.
  • New - open a new blank record.
  • Print - print any of the reports related to the open record.
Cancel (button)

This button is used to close the record without saving any changes that may have been made while it was open. If this button is used after a change has been made to the record, the system prompts to verify whether the record should be closed without saving the changes.

Answering "Yes" to the prompt closes the record without saving the changes.

Answering "No" to the prompt leaves the record open.
