Approve a CAPA Action

Who can complete this task? Veeva Quality Basics: QA Approver

When a CAPA Action is completed, Vault assigns an Approve CAPA Implementation task to the QA Approver of the CAPA Action. The QA Approver can approve and close the CAPA Action or reject and return it to the CAPA Action Owner for revision. 

Complete the following steps to approve a CAPA Action:

  1. Access the CAPA Action from the assigned task. Vault opens the CAPA Action and displays a task banner with the task due date and instructions.
  2. Review the CAPA Action details to determine whether to approve or reject it.
  3. Click Complete on the Approve CAPA Implementation task banner to open the Approve CAPA Implementation dialog and select the appropriate verdict:
    • To approve and close the CAPA Action, select the Approve verdict, select Quality Implementation Approval for the Electronic Signature Approval Meaning, enter your User Name and Password, and click Complete. Vault changes the CAPA Action status to Closed.
    • If the CAPA Action requires further work, select the Reject verdict, enter a Rejection Reason for what further work is required, and click Complete. Vault changes the CAPA Action status back to In Implementation and assigns a Complete CAPA Implementation task to the CAPA Action Owner.
