The system displays a list of all the materials that fulfill your selection criteria.

The record type of the planning file entry is given in column RT. MRP materials are automatically provided with a B and phantom assemblies with a D.
In the low-level code column, you can see the respective low-level code of the material. In the material master record, each material is allocated one low-level code (field L.Lvl Code) which is determined by the bill of material (BOM) management program. You can also display the low-level code in the material master (Additional data, ).

If a material does not appear in a bill of material, the system will automatically allocate the highest level (999).

In the MPS item column, the indicator for a master schedule item is set.
If the Net change planning indicator is set for a material then it is included in the net change planning run.
If the Net change planning horizon indicator is set for a material then this material is included in the net change planning in the planning horizon.
If you set the BOM explosion indicator, then available planned orders are taken over but the BOM is re-exploded and the routing re-released.
If you set the Reset order proposal indicator, then planning dates that may be available are always deleted and recreated.

Choose Statistics.

A window with statistical data appears. Here you see how many materials have been selected in total and how many of these exist for each of the indicators mentioned above.
