The audit plan consists of an audit that needs to performed over a period of time.

audit results and to evaluate these results objectively in order to determine to what
Question lists contain the questions that need to be answered during the execution of the audit.
The allowed valuation can be planned for each hierarchy level.
Question List (Master Record): This question list simply serves as a copying template for
Audit Question List: This question list is used for the audit execution. It is a (modified) copy
An audit question list can be created by assigning a question list(Master Record) to an audit or
In the navigation area, question lists are indicated by the icon , and subordinate

In the navigation area, Audit question lists are indicated by the icon , and subordinate
hierarchy levels (questions, part, element etc…) are indicated by the icon .
A question list can contain as many hierarchy levels as required (for example:part, element,
question).
Each of these hierarchy levels can except the last level, in turn, contain additional hierarchy
levels. The
Corrective Actions
These are actions that are deemed necessary to eliminate the cause of errors that were
determined during
the audit and to prevent the recursion of these errors. The corrective actions to be executed must
be appropriate
These are actions that are deemed necessary to eliminate the causes of possible errors before
they occur.
The preventive actions to be executed must be appropriate to the effects that the possible error
could have
on the product.
Corrective and preventive actions can be assigned to any hierarchy level of an audit-
related question list.
1. Creating directly
2. Creating using template
When we create audits directly we have to create them from scratch. I.e. we need to create each
audit components newly.
When the audit is created from the template the entire audit components of the referenced
template gets created under the
newly created audit and then it can be modified according to our needs.
Press the create button and select audit plan from the listed options.
Provide the audit plan name and its description.
Provide the necessary details for the audit plan in each tab and save the audit.
We can create multiple audit plan or audit under the audit plan.
The hierarchy level can be one level (question), two levels (Element- question) or three levels
(part- Element- question).
Texts
If you want to provide some text for description and note provide it under the text tab
Valuation Specs
Provide the valuation specs to evaluate the audit
Audit can be created directly or it can be created under the Audit plan
Then provide the audit type, audit trigger, audit object values, planned start date,
planned end date and other necessary details in the other tabs.
Audit Type:The audit type describes the audit usage, the audit categories, and the audit object
that is to be audited. Examples of audit types are: Internal process audits in the development
area, external vendor product audits, and internal QM System audits.
The selected question list will be assigned to the audit with the standard naming convention
provided by the SAP.
Here the hierarchy profile has been set to two levels (Element-Question)
Corrective and preventive action has to be created for the each question list, elements,
questions of the
audits for which the status has been set as released.
The status of the audit can be set to release under the status tab of the audit.
Create the corrective and preventive action for the question: Questions1
Provide the name, description and other necessary details of the corrective action.
Thus we have created Audit plan, audit, question list and corrective and preventive action
individually.
Here I am creating question list using template (i.e. from the existing question list)
Select the question list for the template from the hit list
Question list is created with the properties of the given template
Create element
Provide the name and other details of the element.
Now I am creating an audit under the audit plan using the template. When we create an audit
using the template,
the question list and the questions of the template audit will be automatically get created under
the new audit.
As mentioned above the question list and its sub components are created along with the audit.
Now if we need to
add some other question list or questions we can add them under the created audit.
5. Creation of Audit plan using template
Now I am creating the audit plan using template without copying the audit plan and audits under
the template audit plan, hence only the audit plan without its subcomponents will be created.
As mentioned audit plan without the sub components got created.
Now we will created the audit plan using template with selecting the copy with audit option.
Audit plan with the audits under it got created.
Now let us create the audit plan using template with the copy with plans option selected.
Audit plan along with its sub audit plans is created.
Finally we will create audit plan using template with both the options selected.
Audit plan with its entire sub audit plans and their respective audits is created.
