Prerequisites
- Access to the APQP/PPAP activity execution menu.
- APQP/PPAP activity in progress.
- User defined as the activity creator or responsible team member.
Presentation
Closing an APQP/PPAP activity allows you to formally conclude the execution of an activity, recording its completion date and updating its status in the system.
This action indicates that all necessary information has been filled in and that the activity is ready to proceed to the next step in the workflow, when applicable.
Closing is essential to maintain control over the progress of APQP/PPAP and ensure the correct generation of subsequent tasks, such as activity approval.
Closing APQP/PPAP activities
1. Access the data screen for the APQP/PPAP activity you wish to close.
2. In the General Data section, under Identification, fill in the End field with the date on which the activity was completed.
3. After entering the closing date, save the record.
4. Confirm the action requested by the system. After confirmation, the activity status will change from In Progress to Completed.
- If, during APQP/PPAP planning, the activity was configured with an approval stage, the completion of the execution will automatically generate the Activity Approval task.
- This task will be assigned to the responsible user, team members, or participants in the approval process, as defined in the planning.
- Activities completed without an approval stage are considered finished immediately.
Conclusion
Closing the APQP/PPAP activity ensures the formal registration of the completion of the execution and the correct updating of its status in the system.
With this action, the APQP/PPAP workflow continues in a controlled manner, ensuring traceability, adherence to planning, and proper generation of the next steps in the process.
