  Review Planned Quantities: Check the planned quantities for both the generic material and its variants. Ensure that the total planned quantity for the variants matches the planned allocation for the generic material.
  Adjust Allocations: If necessary, adjust the planned allocation for the generic material or the planned quantities for the variants to ensure they are consistent.
