This inquiry is used for a given range of products to identify the lowest level code for each product by BOM alternative.
The system specifies if the product concerned is a parent product or component plus the header product in the BOM where it is represented at the lowest level.
Screen management
This function is composed of a selection header and an inquiry tab.

This field can be left empty (value = 0) to enable manual entry of the components. In this case, only the component is loaded. |
| Lower-level code: lower level in all the BOM links where this component is used. It is updated by any modification on the BOMs. Its main interest is to reduce the MRPs processing times. |
| Indicates that this product exists as a parent item in this alternative BOM. |
| This field indicates that the item exists as a component in the alternate bill of material. |
