CAPA Log
A one-row-per-CAPA register whose columns are chosen for what you must trend — aging, source, risk priority and effectiveness — so management review gets data, not anecdotes.
- See CAPA aging and overdue effectiveness checks at a glance — the two numbers inspections ask for first
- Trend by source and risk priority into management review without rebuilding the data every quarter
- Keep closed CAPAs' history — the log's rules say rows are never deleted
Built like the working documents we write about
Identity and priority columns
CAPA number, date opened, source and risk priority — the fields that drive proportionate handling.
Ownership and phase
Owner and phase columns make stalled CAPAs visible before they become audit findings.
The two clocks
Action due and effectiveness-check due dates — the log tracks both, because closing actions is not proving effectiveness.
Effectiveness result
Recorded per CAPA, so the register itself shows whether your system prevents recurrence.
Closure and notes
Date closed plus a notes column — history stays in the row, never deleted.
Usage rules in the header
One row per CAPA; never delete rows; adopt under your own document control — printed where users see them.
Why each section exists
Bundle shops sell you a zip and a wish. Every section of this document states the clause it was written to satisfy — the same map is printed inside the document, where your auditor can read it.

Every column exists because something downstream consumes it — a trend, a clock, or a management-review slide. Read the craft behind it: what a CAPA tracker has to track and how a template goes stale.
