how to tick phantom item indicator in BOM

[Former Member]

hi all,

i would like to create BOM which i will later use during BOM transfer.

however, some materials, i use for structuring the BOM only so i do not want it to be procured..

according to some i should use phantom item however the tickbox indicator is GRAYED OUT/UNEDITABLE in the item data of the BOM...

how do i do this? my main requirement is to be able to create multilevel bom where only lowest items are actually procured.. in the example, the level 3 items are procured while level 2 bom items are for structuring the BOM only so i would like to set it as phantom item.

EX: HOUSE1 - main BOM

ROOF - level 2 BOM

Nails - level 3 bom

Paint - level 3 bom

Tiles - level 3 bom

WALL- level 2 BOM

Hollow Blocks - level 3 bom

Cement - level 3 bom

Sand -level 3 bom

FLOOR- level 2 BOM

Steel Bar - level 3 bom

Cement - level 3 bom

Gravel - level 3 bom

Sand - level 3 bom

Hi Ramesh,

This is a material level setting. If you want only level 3 BOM items are to be procured then create level 1 and level 2 material as phantom assembly (set special procurement - 50 in MRP 2 view and procurement type as no procurement) in material master and then create your BOM as mentioned. During BOM transfer in CN33 select the check box for multilevel and then your purpose will be solved.

in Mat Master MPR2 view set "Special procurement" as 50.
