Please explain.

hi,

A phantom assembly is a logical (rather than functional) grouping of materials.

From the design point of view, these materials are grouped together to form an assembly. The components of a phantom assembly are grouped together to be built into the assembly on the next level up the product structure.

From the production point of view, these materials are not actually assembled to form a physical unit.

Assembling a pair of gearwheels

Engineering/design view: one assembly

Assembly view:

Gearwheel 1 goes into the driving gear

Gearwheel 2 goes into the output gear

You can define the special procurement key phantom assembly in the material requirements planning (MRP) data of the material master record for a material.

Dependent requirements for the superior assembly are passed directly down to the components of the phantom assembly, skipping the phantom assembly. Planned orders and purchase requisitions are also produced only for the components of the phantom assembly.

suppose you are a car manufacturer, in a car engine is phantom assembly, for which items are cylinders, piston etc.

Dear Arunkumar,

1.Apart from the definition point of view,a Phantom assembly is identified by a special procurement key 50

in the material master in MRP2 view.

2.If the material master record of a BOM header material contains the special procurement key Phantom

assembly (value 50 in the standard system), dependent requirements are generated for components of the

phantom assembly, and planned orders or purchase requisitions are created only for these components.

3.Production confirmation will not be made for a phantom assembly.

4.From the Costing point of view Planned price will be taken from the Components ( Raw-materials).So the

operation that's required for making this assembly can be maintained in the upper level where this phantom

assembly is getting consumed.

Hi

We can define any material as phantom (False) by maintaining special procurement key as 50.

While planning system will plan this material but will not create any procurement porposals for this material.

In production order the components ofthis materials will be displayed only.

But in costing while taking standard cost system will consider this material.
