Phantom Material

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Gurus,

1.If ‘A’ is a phantom material having set of parts. Set of parts are B, C and D. What is the configuration required to sell or procure these three parts in a set?

2.What is the difference between, if I set the phantom assy in MRP-2 (special procurement key-50) view rather than in BOM item? Please give example on both cases.

Thank you,

Regards,

Sudip

Hello,

A phantom assembly is a virtual assembly.

For 1: For a phantom assembly the requirements are directly passed on the components, so to procure B,C,D in a set, you should check the explosion type indicator in the BOM.

For 2: If you set the indicator at MRP 2 level it will be applicable to all the BOM's the material is a part of, if you set it at BOM item level it is only specific to the BOM.

Please check SAP help for reference:

Hi Ameya,

Understand. But you did not mention how to sell? Please give me the solution.

What is the configuration required to sell the B, C and D item in set?

Thanks,

Hi Sudipta,

for selling sets as per your example:

1- extend sales view for A.

2- create BOM for A with BOM usage 5 for sales.

3- put items B,C ,and D as components in A sales BOM.

4- create sales order for A and it will expand set components automatically.

Thanks
