Phantoms of generic items

In regular order-based planning, phantoms are treated in the following way:

The phantom is replaced by the components in its BOM
The phantom's routing is treated as part of the existing routing

If a generic item G has a phantom, the phantom's components and operations are offset relative to the planned order finish date of G. The way in which this is done depends on whether the phantom itself is a generic item or a normal item. Below you will find an example of both situations.

Example: generic phantoms of generic items

Consider the following situation:

A generic item G1 has a generic phantom G2
G2's generic BOM contains a (normal) component N3
G2's generic routing contains one operation OP

In this situation, the planning proceeds according to the following diagram:

A	Offset of N3 in G-BOM of G2
B	Offset of G2 in G-BOM of G1
C	N3 finish date of G1 order
D	Offset of OP in G-ROU of G2
E	Offset of G2 in G-BOM of G1
F	OP1
G	OP2

Example: normal phantoms of generic items

Consider the following situation:

A generic item G1 has a normal phantom N2
N2's BOM contains a (normal) component N3
N2's routing contains operations OP1 and OP2

In this situation, the planning proceeds according to the following diagram:

(1) Offset of N3 in BOM of N2,
Or:

A	Order lead-time of N2
B	Offset of N2 in G-BOM of G1
C	N3 finish date of G1 order
D	Order lead-time of N2
E	Offset of N2 in G-BOM of G1
F	OP1
G	OP2

Remarks:

If an offset is specified in N2's BOM, this offset is used to offset N3; otherwise, N2's order lead-time is used.
In a normal routing, no offset is available; instead, N2's order lead-time is used to offset N2's operations.

Note

You can specify an item's order lead-time in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session.
