Phantom Flag

This field applies to APS and MRP.

Select the check box to designate this item as a phantom.

When you run the MRP Planning or APS Planning activity, the system bypasses the phantom item and creates planned orders only for the material components in the phantom item's current bill of material.

The system plans items differently based on the combination of how you set the Phantom Flag, Accept Requirements, and Pass Requirements fields on the Items form.

See Accept Requirements for details about the relationship between these three fields.

See About Phantom Items in MRP and APS for more information about how the system plans phantom items.
