# Execute Corrective Action

Carry out corrective actions assigned as part of the Sensitive Event Management workflow.

When a sensitive event is submitted for **corrective action**, the assigned action item owner(s) receive a notification prompting them to execute the required action.

{% hint style="info" %}
*If the action item involves a Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR), the standard execution workflow is bypassed. Instead, the supplier representative is notified and assigned responsibility for investigating the SCAR.*
{% endhint %}

Notifications are dispatched based on the owner’s classification:

* **Internal Owners:** Receive notifications in their **Pending Tasks** folder and via email.
* **External or Supplier Owners:** Receive notifications via email only.

Clicking on the subject in **Pending Tasks**, or the button included in the email, opens the **Execute the Action** form. This form allows users to accept or reject the assigned action and provide all required documentation regarding its execution.

***

### Completing Action Execution

This step involves confirming acceptance of the assigned action and submitting the necessary documentation to verify completion.

Because action execution follows the standard **Action Item Management workflow**, users should refer to the **Action Items App Section** for detailed guidance on:

* Accepting or rejecting an action
* Adding execution details or observations
* Uploading supporting evidence
* Understanding routing and approval behavior

### Workflow Dependency Notice

The Sensitive Event Management workflow **cannot proceed** until all related subprocesses are fully completed. This includes:

* Execution of all assigned corrective actions
* Completion and approval of any SCAR-related tasks

All associated activities must be finalized before the sensitive event can advance to the resolution stage.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://interfacing.gitbook.io/interfacing-help-files/regulatory-compliance/sensitive-events-application/navigating-the-sensitive-events-workflow/execute-corrective-action.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
