Start
Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Retrieve Store Master Data
Fetch store details (location, manager, region) from the Store Data Model to populate the audit context.
2. Assign Audit Task
Create a task for the assigned Auditor to perform the physical site inspection.
3. Compliance Checklist
Standardized list of items to verify (e.g., Fire Safety, Expiry Dates, Hygiene, Staff ID Check).
4. Initialize Audit Report Entry
Create a new Audit Report entry linked to the specific Store and Auditor.
5. Log Audit Timestamp
Update the Audit Entry with the actual start time and completion time.
6. Retrieve Previous Audit Results
Fetch the scores from the last completed audit to allow for year-over-year comparison.
7. Calculate Compliance Score
Calculate the final percentage score based on (Passed Items / Total Items) * 100.
8. Aggregate Regional Non-Compliance
Sum the total number of 'Failed' items across all stores in the same region to identify systemic issues.
9. Create Remediation Task
If score is below threshold, automatically create a task for the Store Manager to fix failed items.
10. Generate Non-Compliance Issue
Create a new entry in the 'Issues' Data Model for every failed checklist item.
11. Notify Store Manager
Send an email summary of the Audit results and the Compliance Score to the Store Manager.
12. Urgent Alert SMS
Send an SMS alert to the Regional Manager if a 'Critical' safety violation is recorded.
13. Generate Monthly Compliance Report
Create a high-level PDF/Dashboard report summarizing all audits completed in the current month.
14. Update Store Compliance Status
Update the 'Compliance Status' field in the Store Master Data Model (e.g., 'Compliant', 'At Risk', 'Non-Compliant').
15. Remove Duplicate Audit Entry
Delete accidentally duplicated audit entries if the system detects a double-submission for the same store/date.
