• Key Concepts: 
  Calculation level is a feature of the SAP IBP Configuration component that allows users to define the level of detail for calculations. This feature enables users to control the granularity of their calculations, allowing them to focus on specific areas or objects. The calculation level can be set at either the item or the item group level. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the calculation level feature, users must first select the item or item group they wish to calculate. Then, they can select the desired calculation level from the drop-down menu. Depending on the selection, different levels of detail will be included in the calculation. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the calculation level, it is important to consider the desired level of detail and accuracy. If a more detailed and accurate calculation is needed, then a higher calculation level should be selected. On the other hand, if a less detailed and accurate calculation is sufficient, then a lower calculation level should be selected. 
  
  Related Information:
