Specifies the planning level of this item entry in the planning worksheet.
The program automatically retrieves the routing type from the routing card when the Item No. field is filled in, but you can change it.
You can assign a low-level code to each part in the product structure or the indented BOM. The top final assembly level is denoted as level 0: the end item. The higher the number of the low-level code, the lower the item is in the hierarchy. For example, end items have low-level code 0, and the item parts that go into the assembly of the end item have low-level codes 1, 2, 3, and so on. The result is that the planning of component parts is coordinated with the needs of all higher-level part numbers. When you calculate a plan, the BOM is exploded in the planning worksheet, and the gross requirements for level 0 are passed down the planning levels as gross requirements for the next planning level.
