"Cancellation" of a SCAR is could be interpreted a couple of ways. If the SCAR is closed, you would update your CAPA record to indicate all actions were implemented and the SCAR appears to be effective. Then you close it. You can also send that information to the supplier to include with their CAPA records. Another possibility is that the SCAR was opened and should not have been. In this case, you would amend your CAPA record to explain why it is no longer needed and the record is being closed. If you no longer need a SCAR, do not just delete the record. The CAPA records will be out of sequence and either an auditor or an inspector will ask where the record can be found.
