ISO 9001:2015 Requirements for processes (not the interactions between them) per 4.4.1

There is a partially automated step in the process where the person who initiates it wasn't sure what the output is; they have work instructions that tell them to do it, but not why or what it does or who needs it to happen.

Also, documentation does exist in the form of a "process sheet" (like a process turtle but in a more report-like form) and an SOP, but they don't agree with eachother. The outputs listed on the process sheet are what you would expect this process to produce, but the SOP only describes a subprocess (it does not produce the final outputs listed on the process sheet, but it does produce an input to the activity that does).

The "set of interrelated activities" that make up this process are not described anywhere.

Although I would hope that the person doing the work would understand and be able to explain why and who needs to know, the standard doesn't require that. Nor does it need to be documented. Someone in the organization should know though.

Agreed, but the OP should be careful to address clause 7.3c & d.
