How is a phantom assembly used in a superior assembly?


Asked by Emmy Finley on Nov 29, 2021 FAQ



A phantom assembly, when used as a BOM component inside a superior assembly, system automatically updates the ‘phantom’ indicator in the BOM General Item view, as well as component detail data view. The BOM of the phantom assembly is already exploded in the Routing component allocation screen, as well as inside Production order component overview:
Moreover,
A phantom assembly is used when you want to be able to structure a BOM so it is easy to understand, but don't want to create too many production orders. Assume an auto Engine. There are hundreds of components. You might structure them as: Engine block and parts, camshaft and parts, and 6 piston assemblies.
In this manner, You might structure them as: Engine block and parts, camshaft and parts, and 6 piston assemblies. But you don't want to create 3 production orders, too much hassle.
And,
Multilevel Phantom assemblies are supported in the system. If it is required that an assembly will be considered as phantom for one superior assembly, while it will be treated as a real assembly for another superior assembly; that flexibility can be controlled in the following two methods.
Furthermore,
SAP Phantom Assembly Off Indicator in BOM. In the material master of the wheel assembly, phantom assembly is set in the special procurement field. The wheel assembly is a material component in a higher-level BOM and has item number 0010.
