What is the process of reconciliation in Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) and how is it calculated?

Question

Accepted Answer

Reconciliation in BMR is the process of comparing the actual quantities of materials used in production with the expected quantities.

Reconciliation involves comparing the actual quantities of raw materials, intermediates, and finished products used in production with the quantities specified in the BMR.
Discrepancies between actual and expected quantities are investigated to determine the cause and ensure product quality.
Reconciliation calculations are typically done by comparing the total quantities of materials issued, used, and remaining in stock.
For example, if a BMR specifies 100 kg of a raw material to be used but only 90 kg are accounted for in production, a reconciliation discrepancy of 10 kg would be noted.
