Low-Level on Line
Select this box to instruct the system to automatically recalculate low-level codes of affected items when a change is made to a bill of material. Clear the box to prevent automatic recalculation.
See Low Level Code for an explanation of how the system uses low-level codes.
When you add a material, the system compares the material's low level code (as defined on the Items form) to the parent item's low level code. If the material's code is a lower number, the system sets it to the parent's low level code + 1. The system then reads through the material's entire indented bill of material and adjusts any low level codes that need to be changed.
Note: In most cases, this is a very desirable feature. However, when
making numerous changes to bills of material, using this option may slow system
performance. When this parameter is cleared, you must run the
Current Bill of Material Processor to recalculate
low-level codes when changes are made to the current bill of material. Even
when this parameter is selected, we recommend you still run the
Current Bill of Material Processor periodically to
ensure the low level codes are correct.
