21 CFR Part 111 Subpart M (§§111.453–111.475) requires dietary supplement holding and distribution to protect against mix-ups, contamination and deterioration: defined storage conditions (temperature, humidity, light) per the stability programme, FEFO/FIFO rotation, lot-level traceability outbound, returned-product handling per 111.503. The recurring observation is an ambient warehouse storing a refrigerated probiotic without temperature mapping.

How V5 handles it
QMS — quality records next to the work they concern.
Deviations, corrective actions and quality review sit in the same system as production, so each quality record references the work order, step and lot it concerns.
Document control — one version in force, every change signed and explained.
Draft the next revision while the current one stays in use, approve it under your sign-off route, and track training on it — with the history kept.
