PrissiDe said:

Hello, I am fairly new to AS9100 and I am trying to write the procedure for Control of Documents. I am getting very confused on what the difference between Document and Records? Can anyone help me sort the two out?

Also I am trying to figure out a way to contol my doucments. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to control my documents?

Thank you,
Brittani

Records - cannot be amended ( if amended it becomes manipulation)
Documents - can be amended. (format is a document. Filled format becomes a record)

Not entirely true. Sometimes corrections need to be made, and they are not necessarily manipulation or falsification of data. Typos, transpositions, putting the wrong value in the wrong column. Sometimes people make mistakes. At least all the ones I've ever met.
