How Do I Create an Original Preventive Action Report (PAR)?

1. Open the File menu, click New, and choose Preventive Action. Corrective Action opens the Create PAR dialog box for you to enter information about the PAR. Enter a descriptive label for the Preventive Action Request. The label will be combined with a system-generated number to create the title of the PAR. Enter a detailed description in the Description field.

 

Select the date the issue was reported in the Date reported field.

 

If you know the department where the preventive actions should occur, click the Select button next to the Department field, and select a department name from the department pool. If the department name that you wish to use is not shown in the list, you can add it by clicking the New button. The New Department dialog box displays. Enter the name of the department that you wish to add to the pool and click OK. The new department name appears in the Select Items: Departments dialog box list and you can now include it.

 

Click OK to return to the Create PAR dialog box.

  • Enter the name of the person who reported the PAR in the Reported by field.
  • Associate additional traceability information, such as lot number, by entering it in the Traceability field.
  • The originator field displays the name of the currently logged on user. You cannot edit it.
  • If you know the location where the prevention should take place, enter the name of the location in the Location field.

2. Click OK to create the PAR.

Corrective Action creates the PAR, which is in the Preventive Action work phase and appears in the To Do List for the Preventive Action owner.
