Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Handover to Manufacturing (S/4, 3D VE)
Description:  You can launch this app from a manufacturing change record in the Manage Change Records app if there is at least one analysis object in the change record. By performing change impact analysis, you can identify manufacturing objects impacted by an engineering change and understand the potential impact that engineering changes have on the product, processes, and even people (organization) involved. Before making any changes, you as production engineer can see what manufacturing objects (BOMs, shop floor routings, planning routings, production orders, project networks, or purchase orders) are impacted by an engineering change and drill down into details of the parts impacted (such as BOM items, operations, and operation activities). This app not only lets you perform change impact analysis at the level of detail you require, but provides network graphs to help you understand the relationships between potentially impacted objects and allows you to take immediate action where necessary. 
An application that helps in determination of potential manufacturing artifacts that may be impacted due to changes in related artifacts like Engineering Bill of Materials, Manufacturing Bill of Materials, Routings etc. It also allows to take actions on the impacted objects instantly.
Key features:    Trigger the change impact analysis for one or more analysis objects from the context of the change record.   View a list of directly impacted and related objects identified by the analysis and drill down into the object details.  Note The highlighted objects are the ones that trigger a change request.    Identify whether the object is directly impacted by the change, already assigned to the change record, or considered for net change.   Filter the list of objects by plant, time period, and object type.   Display a network graph showing the relationships between the objects.   Display a configurable quick view for objects in the network graph to display details of the object.   Determine the impact on the object based on the net change determined between the current and previous version of BOMs.  Note The latest version of the BOM is displayed by default, but you can select previous versions in the dropdown list.    View the components that have been deleted, modified, or added for each EBOM and MBOM, and navigate to the Stock Requirement app to check the material details of the corresponding object. You can also navigate to production order details screen where you can view the execution status, the change impact category and the category value.   View the manufacturing reference structure (MRS) information for the EBOM and MBOM items in the items table, if available, and see any changes to the MRS in the Net Change section.   View a list of all activities and the impacted activities for each routing, and navigate to the Manage Shop Floor Routings app for further details.  View a list of operations impacted for each planning routing, and navigate to the Display Planning Routing app for further details.  Determine the units impacted by the engineering change in the case of unitized bills of materials or routings.   Determine the shop floor routings impacted by changes to product manufacturing information (PMI) or a manufacturing process definition (MPD).   Perform quick actions for the impacted objects, for example, navigate to related apps where you can perform the necessary actions.   Analyze the impact on subcontracting, specifically addressing engineering changes on contracts that are outsourced to a third party.
