You will see that the quantities in step 3 and step 6 do not match.

In Business configuration for "Quantities and Units of Measure", the number of decimal places visible for each is 2.

Hence, where viewing multi-level structure, the quantity are rounded up according to number of decimals maintained in Business Configuration.

Example: In the BOM, the input products have the quantities 0.0002  each, in Multi-Level Structure, the quantity is displayed as 0.01  each.

(i.e. using excel, roundup(num = 0.0002, decimals = 2) results in 0.01 each

Modifying the decimals allowed in Business Configuration setting to 4 for each will display the exact quantities in multi-level structure.
