Change Request Process on Audits & Assessments

Overview

Community Owners have the ability to submit change requests to individual questions on a submitted assessment. This action is intended for situations when you need to return the assessment back to the Supplier/Distributor to modify their response to one or more questions.  If you do not wish for them to modify their response but instead need to trigger a Corrective Action, please review the Corrective Actions article.

After a change request is submitted, the supplier is then alerted and the questions that have change requests applied will become editable.  The supplier will then need to review, modify their response and acknowledge the request to submit back to the Community Owner. Once the assessment has been resubmitted the Community Owner will need to review each change request and accept the updates prior to Approving or Rejecting the assessment. Please note: Once the assessment has been Approved or Rejected the Supplier and the Community Owner will no longer be able to submit any additional change requests.

This article will explain how to submit, reply to, and accept change requests on assessment responses for both the Community Owner and the Supplier.

Instructions for Closing a Completed Change Request on an Assessment (For Community Owners)

1. Login to your business account within FoodLogiQ Connect (connect.foodlogiq.com), and click on "Audits & Assessments" on the left navigation menu.
2. Assessments that have been submitted with change requests completed by the Supplier will be in Status of "Submitted". 
3. Navigate to the questions that had change requests submitted. If the supplier completed, you will see the date the supplier completed and the card will display "Completed Change Request". You can either acknowledge your review of their update by clicking the checkmark in the top right, or you can return back to the supplier to review again by selecting the comment icon and repeating the change request process again.

Please note: When you Reject or Approve an Assessment it will become locked, meaning you can no longer submit Change Requests on any questions to allow suppliers to make edits. Suppliers will not be able to modify any part of the Assessment.
