Hi !
MRP group is a kind of object that helps you to assign common type of control parameters to materials. Imagine a scenario where you want to use different types of production order availability checks within a plant or you want different scheduling horizons depending on materials, in such cases MRP group comes handy. In simple words, if you need to maintain different control mparameters that differ from plant specific to material groups, you use MRP group.
Phantom item is a concept used in multillevel BOM. Its actually sublevel in the BOM and doesnt actually exists in terms of inventory, they are more of logical than physical.
Suppose you are preparing BOM of a car.
You make phantom assembly as "Assembly_wheel "
Under Phantom Assembly " Assembly_Wheel", the components are wheels (4 Nos).
So when you do MRP run, phantom assembly doesnt come directly in planned order, rather, PR will be created for 4 no. of wheels.
