question regarding Phantom assembly

[Former Member]

Hi

I need to raise a rpoduction order for a material A . I need to supply B and C to produce A which in turn are In House produced materials.Do I make B and C as phantom assembly and instead of raising 3 production orders i can only raise 1

Regards,

Dear Pradeep ,

From your requirement it s clear that A is your FG and B,C are SFG as BOM component which is IN House produced .Bascically , If you do not want to Store B and C but want plan the depedent of B,C along with A's dependent and also cost of B,C routing hrs /component along with A , then you can use this Phantom Assmbly functionality .

But if you want to have physically stored B.C and then re-siiue this SFG to A for final production , I think you should go for Collecyive Order creation in one sort .

Hope it si clear

Regards

Hi Pradeep

Phantom Material means it is virtual material that means item does not exists. It is a logical grouping of material rather than functional. The purpose of these assemblies is to make maintenance of the item easier as the product evolves and changes.

1. Hi In your case you cannot make the same since B&C are not phantom,

2. The are real materials - you need to procure them or prodcue them to have the C produced.

For example - in case before you make A you assemble B + C as X and then you do some operation to get A..

in such case your X becomes a logical grouping so you can make X as phantmo material . So when you create the demand for A the requirement will be directly passed on to B and C.

3. Only in such condition you need to make phantom..

i have the strucuture below.

Parent -Mat A

intemittennt =X

comp1=MatB

Comp2=MatC

So IF i assemble B and C as X and making X a Phantom assembly then there is no need for raising seperate production orders for B and C right

Hi,

• Please reefer the SAP help for hte phantom assembly in detail.

• You are wrong ..Only X is phantom so you need not create any prod order for X only ..
