We are BPCS 405 CD V4R3 mixed mode & I am not entirely sure what you mean by 
multi level shop order.

There are two ways we release shop orders.
There is an MRP option to release all shop orders due in like the next 2 
weeks for the facility of choice.
We can define individual orders via SFC500 & SFC520 ... we sometimes do this 
for rapid requirements where we will not be doing an MRP regen or net change 
for a few hours & this customer order just came in that we need to start work 
on immediately.

We have modified the appearance of our labor ticket from the BPCS generic.
There is space to write in all the stuff related to labor & inventory 
reporting via JIT600, and we have also added some stuff to the pot.
We also use the tickets to track repairs ... sometimes inspection finds 
something that is not quite right & can be fixed during production, so the 
tickets are used to help track the fact that some fixed sub-assemblies are 
coming soon.

Our tickets also show a copy of the additional description notes spelling out 
step by step what is to be made, identify the BOM of the primary part coming 
into the process, show where-used of parts in production that this 
sub-assembly goes into, to help expedite movement of material across our 
factory.  Extremely busy form, extremely useful to many people.  I could mail 
or fax someone a few sample copies if you want to copy some of these ideas & 
see how we doing it.  I can NOT get them from our 400 into my home PC e-mail 
attachments.

We are Make to Order & I never heard of this before ... can it be done on 405 
CD?
I had seen customer identification field in shop order layout & wondered how 
it gets populated ... does this deal do that?
