Incorporating Changes

Procedure

Launch the Hand Over Recipe Formulation to Bills of Material (BOM) app.
Search and choose the required recipe and navigate to the Handover Activity list page.
Choose Customize for the handover that requires change incorporation.

The Handover Activity details page appears.

From the Incorporate Changes dropdown, choose one of following option:

With Existing Change Number	Allows you to incorporate the latest SAP IPD recipe formulation version changes to the target BOM with existing change number. For more information, see With Existing Change Number.
With New Change Number	Allows you to incorporate the latest SAP IPD recipe formulation version changes to the target BOM with a new change number. For more information, see With New Change Number. Note Enter the new change number in the General Information section.

Choose Save.

The handover status is changed to Synchronizing and then to In Progress.
Choose Navigate to Planner.

The Handover From Recipe to BOM Planner page appears. You can see the updated recipe in the Target panel.
Choose Edit to plan the ingredients required to the Target panel.
Choose Publish to ERP System.

With New Change Number

Select the recipe and choose Incorporate Changes With New Change Number.

An Incorporate Changes page appears with details of the BOM.
Enter the change number in the General Information section.
Choose Save.

A new handover activity is created and the planning page opens. The app updates the change number in the header section for the recipe.
To incorporate the changes into the BOM structure, choose Change Reconciliation. For more information, see Change Reconciliation.

With Existing Change Number

Select the recipe and choose Incorporate Changes With Existing Change Number.

An Incorporate Changes in Handover page appears with source and target details of the BOM.
Choose Save.

A new handover is created, and the planning page opens. The app updates the source valid from date in the header section.

You can view the differences between the source and target panels. The app displays discrepancy icons against the recipe with changes in the Source panel and the Target panel. A Change Reconciliation icon appears in the Target panel.
To incorporate the changes into the BOM structure, choose Change Reconciliation.

For more information, see Change Reconciliation.

Change Reconciliation

The change reconciliation is a process of comparing the source recipe and the target BOM for any discrepancies or inconsistencies in the quantities and Unit of Measure (UoM). The discrepancies can be due to the changes done in the component's quantity and UoM. The change reconciliation workbench allows you to view and resolve these discrepancies. In the Status column, the app displays discrepancy icons in the rows of the Source and Target panels that have attribute discrepancies.

The app enables the following icons for any discrepancies in the Status column of the panels:

Icons	Description
	Change Reconciliation Appears in the header section of the Target panel. It indicates a discrepancy in the quantity. You can use this workbench to resolve the discrepancy.
 (Component with Discrepancy)	Indicates quantity and UoM discrepancy in the component.

Description

Change Reconciliation

Appears in the header section of the Target panel. It indicates a discrepancy in the quantity. You can use this workbench to resolve the discrepancy.

 (Component with Discrepancy)

Indicates quantity and UoM discrepancy in the component.

Discrepancy in Quantity and UoM

The quantity and UoM discrepancies can occur either due to changes made in the source quantity or by manually changing the quantity value for the nodes in the Target panel.

The app allows you to split and plan the source recipe into multiple target components based on quantity. Therefore, a single source node can have multiple target nodes linked to it. For more information, see Planning Types and Planning Statuses.

Now if there is any discrepancy in the quantity and UoM, the app provides an option to resolve the discrepancy or reconcile the changes. In the Status column, the app displays the discrepancy icons in the rows of the Source and Target panels with quantity and UoM discrepancies.

The main goal of resolving discrepancies is to ensure that the source quantity and UoM are correctly consumed in the Target.

To resolve discrepancies between the source and the target quantities and UoMs, follow these steps:

Choose (Change Reconciliation) → Quantity.

The dialog box displays all the products with quantity and UoM discrepancies. It provides you with the following information to compare the quantity and UoM discrepancies:

Column Name	Description
Product	Name of the components with discrepancy.
Source Quantity	Quantity of the component in the source recipe.
Source UoM	Unit of measure for the component in the source recipe.
Target Quantity	Quantity of the component in the target BOM.
Target UoM	Unit of measure for the component in the target BOM.
New Target Quantity	Updated quantity of the component in the target BOM.
New Target UoM	Updated unit of measure for the component in the target BOM.
Resolution	You can resolve discrepancies using the options in the drop down menu under Resolution. Select Copy Values from Source for quantity and Adjust UoM for UoM.

From the Resolution drop down, choose Copy Value from Source, which copies theSource Quantity to the Target Quantity, or choose Adjust UoM, which recalculates the unit of measure to preserve full accuracy. For example, 2.78654 kg becomes 278.654 grams.

You can also choose Apply all drop down at the top right corner, and select Copy Value from Source or Adjust UoM to apply these changes to all the products with quantity and UoM discrepancies.
Choose OK.

The app updates the values to the nodes. The Change Reconciliation icon is disabled once the discrepancies are resolved.
