Shraa,
In the guidance document provided on the SQF web site. There is a specific quote regarding manual structure:
"There is NO prescribed format or organization prescribed by the standard on how manuals are to be constructed. SQF auditor is to VERiFY CONTENT, NOT FORMAT. Format should be determine by company, whichever format is most convenient for them." (emphisis mine)
For me the easisest way to do that was to organize everthing into one manual which I call the "Quality Manual" to make it simple for the employees. Then I used the code sections as the document break down. So you have a structure that looks like this, where the blue text is my actual documents.
6.4 Calibration of Equipment
6.4.1 Calibration Methods
6.4.1.1-3 QM Calibration System & Procedure
6.4.1.1-3 QM SP Calibration System & Procedure

6.4.4 Records
6.4.4 VER Monitoring Equipment Verification
6.4.4.1 QM Check Weigher Challenge Procedure
6.4.4.1 QM SP Check Weigher Challenge Procedure
6.4.4.1 WI Checkweigher Challenge Work Instruction
6.9.2.2 QM Metal Detector Challenge Procedure
6.9.2.2 QM SP Metal Detector Challenge Procedure
6.9.2.2 WI Metal Detector Challenge Work InstructionWhere I had documents in place already I coded them with the SQF section that was applicable and then added them in to the new SQF index. Hence the various documents listed in blue under records.
I have found that this is the easiest way to integrate existing documetns into the new system , while ensuring that any "missing documents" are created to complete the SQF upgrade and maintain sipmlicity of use for floor personnel.
Hope this helps along with everybody elses comments.
