• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLMDISCALC013 - Low-level code of class &1 (&2) needs to be increased ?

  The SAP error message PLMDISCALC013 indicates that there is an issue with the low-level code of a class in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module. This error typically arises when the low-level code of a class is not sufficient to accommodate the hierarchy of the materials or classes involved in the calculation.
  Cause:
  The low-level code is a numerical representation that indicates the level of a class in a hierarchy. If the low-level code is too low, it may not be able to represent the relationships between classes and their components correctly. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Class Hierarchy: The class hierarchy may not be set up correctly, leading to low-level codes that do not reflect the actual structure.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, the low-level codes may not have been updated correctly.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes to class assignments or structures that do not adhere to the required hierarchy can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PLMDISCALC013 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Class Hierarchy:
  
  Go to the class in question and review its hierarchy. Ensure that the low-level codes are set correctly according to the structure of the classes and their relationships.
  Use transaction code CL02 (Change Class) to review and modify the class hierarchy if necessary.
  
  
  
  Adjust Low-Level Codes:
  
  If you find that the low-level codes are incorrect, you may need to adjust them. This can be done by reassigning the classes or changing their hierarchy to ensure that the low-level codes reflect the correct structure.
  
  
  
  Recalculate Low-Level Codes:
  
  In some cases, you may need to recalculate the low-level codes for the classes. This can often be done through standard SAP transactions or reports designed for this purpose.
