Definition

The order level or the order path are only relevant to planning with phantom assemblies.

Order level and order path together define the exact position of a phantom assembly within the bill of material structure.

Example

A bill of material contains the following phantom assemblies (PhanAS) and materials:

Material'A'
_________________________|__________________
| | |
| | |
PhantAS'B' PhantAS'C' Material'D'
_____|________ _____|______
| | | |
| | | |
PhantAS'E' Material'F' Material'G' Material'H'
|
|
Material'J'

To retrace the position of individual phantom assemblies within the BOM structure, the order levels and order paths are given according to the following logic:

  • per BOM level, a number is given for the order level
  • per BOM branch, a number is given for the order path

In the following BOM, the first character displays the order level, and the second character displays the order path. Here, the following is valid: If the material is not a phantom assembly, the system gives it the character '0' for both level and path. However, if a material is a component of a phantom assembly, then it also receives the level and path of the phantom assembly.

Material'A'
(0/0)
_________________________|__________________
| | |
| | |
PhantAS'B' PhantAS'C' Material'D'
(1/1) (1/2) (0/0)
_____|________ _____|______
| | | |
| | | |
PhantAS'E' Material'F' Material'G' Material'H'
(2/1) (1/1) (1/2) (1/2)
|
|
Material'J'
(2/1)
