BOM Phantom Item

[Former Member]

Hi,

How do you setup Phantom Material in BOM? Do you tag it as Non-stock item "N" or Stock Item "L"? Or it doesnt matter since the "Phantom" characteristic takes over?

Thanks in advance experts!

Hi Manoj,

You can go with Stock Item "L" only no problem and the phantom characteristics will take over.

If you maintain "N" then durig MRP it will create a PR for the item. So it is better to maintain "L".

Select the item to which you need to set up as phantom.

go to item overview / basic data view / give the spl procurement key as 50.

Maintain as stock item L .

anyway it will pass thru the reqmt to the components.

The item is SFG, so in-house production. It needs no PR, but will use "L" to be safe.

Thanks for the inputs!

Dear Manoj,

Assign the item category type as L for a phantom material even though the stock cannot be seen at any point in the system for

a phantom material.

Non stock items N will be used for the materials which are specifically purchased for a planned order and will be consumed

immediately.
