| PhantomsIf you define an item as
a phantom item in the bill of
material (BOM) of a manufactured item, the requirements for the phantom are
exploded straight through to the materials of the phantom. No material
requirements are created for the phantom item itself. Note If multisite is implemented for the company where
production takes place. Planning can only be done within the planning cluster to which the warehouses and work centers where production takes
place belong. The bill of material (BOM) and routing are always defined for a specific end item
and site combination. - A phantom is either
exploded for the total required quantity, or completely treated as a normal
component. The phantom is not exploded for a part of the required quantity.
- The phantom stock is
always ignored during planning.
If you create a production order and one of the end item's
materials is a phantom: - The materials to create the phantom, are added to the estimated
materials of the production order for the specified item and site combination.
- The operations in the
routing of the phantom are renumbered and appended to the main item routing for
the selected item and site combination.
