Elements that are account assigned to the production order

You can use this indicator to determine whether purchase requisitions and purchase orders for external operations and also rework orders are displayed. These elements are directly assigned to the production order. They are shown by a placeholder material (empty material field) and a corresponding icon.

Elements outside the product structure

This indicator determines whether other elements that are account assigned to the order or WBS element are displayed in addition to the elements that are in the product structure of the selected product (or assembly).

For instance, you have selected a sales order for a pump. The order progress display then displays the product structure (shaft, rotor, casing etc.). A production order that is account assigned to the sales order with material Motor is only displayed, if the indicator is set.

For all materials outside the product structure, only the first hierarchy level is displayed. This is because the hierarchy cannot be determined here and relationships that possibly exist cannot be taken into account. All the materials outside the product structure are displayed below the product structure.

Number of hierarchy levels

This number determines how many hierarchy levels are initially read into the order progress report. When you are working in the report you can read in further hierarchy levels.
