Phantom Assembly order

Hi
I am working on a scenario where I have to collect dependent requirement of two material under one material. BOM of this materials is same but different physical properties so different matrial code. i am trying with phantom material ...so that i collect requirement for this materials ...club together and make the order for it. is it possible to make production order for phantom material. please suggest any other possible solution for this.
regards
Rajesh

Dear Mr.Rajesh,
Go thorugh this.
I hope you will not be facing any problem with your scenario.
Also
Check with the setting in SPRO - Production - Basic Data -BOM - Item Data -
DefineExplosion types.
Indicator: phantom assembly off
This indicator controls the explosion of a phantom assembly in BOM explosion functions.
Use
Explosion of phantom assembly in standard SAP system
If a special procurement key for a phantom assembly is entered in the material master (MRP 2 detail screen) of the header material of a phantom assembly:
Dependent requirements for the superior assembly are transferred directly to the components of the phantom assembly
Planned orders or purchase requisitions are generated for the components of the phantom assembly
If the explosion type determines that the standard explosion for a phantom
assembly is switched off, dependent requirements are generated for the header
materials of phantom assemblies, as well as the components.
If useful reward points.

Unable to View low level items for Phantom Assembly - Order created in APO

Hi All,
I am unable to view the sub items when I create planned orders in APO and production orders in ECC. But when the order for the same material is created in ECC, I can see all the sub items. I see that this issue is only for Phantom Assemblies.
And I cannot say that all the items in the Phantom do not appear, actually some of them do appear in BOM explosion.
For example:
Pld Ord is created for A in APO
Prd Ord for A is created in ECC
A has B, C and F as requirements
and B is phantom
B has D and F as requirements
Then my BOM explosion shows
..1 B
..2 D
..1 C
..2 D
..2 E
..1 F (This only gives the quantity required to make A)
But it should also list how much of F (..2 F) is required to make B.
Where as it comes up in ECC.
Do I need to change the material settings for Phantom or is it just the UOM that is creating an issue?

Collective Orders with Phantom assembly

HI experts,
Required clarity on following scenario urgently.
Material                                                Proc Type                             Special Proc
A                                                                 E
B(BOM item for A)                                       E                                             52
C(BOM item for B)                                        E                                              50(phantom)
C1(BOM item for c)                                        E                                             52
When we are creating the production order for A,respective production orders for B and C1 is genrated.
Now when we are confirming the production order for C1,GI of c1 to B is happening and also for C! production order it is giving the DLV status.Up to this the scenario working fine.
But when we are confirming the production order for B,the GI for production order A and DLV status for production order B has to happen,BUt it is not happening.
Can anyone throw some light on this. Expecting reply at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
LN

Hi
ritesh,
It is not the question of control key.
But the error is coming at the time of goods movement,we can see the description of it in "cogi".
"ERROR IN DEPENDENT GOODS MOVEMENT."
Because For 'c1',After confirming the order for 'C1',it will do the GR for 'C1'and GI of 'C1'to 'B' production order.
Up to this it is working fine.But the same when I am trying for 'B'production order,After confirmation the GR for'B'is not happning And the Issue of B to 'A' production order is not happening.
And in COGI the above error is coming.
I want to know weather this problem occuring because of phantom assembly with collective order.
Hope this will clear the problem understanding.

LN

PP - Phantom Assembly Alt Item in BOM not loaded in Planned Order

Hi all,
I have a scenario where in my finished product, I have several components organized in Alternate Group, and for each group, I define a component as Prime (100% usage) and others as Alternate (0% utilization). Among these there are some components that are configured as Phantom (Special Procurement 50), and these Phantom items, when they are Alternate in the BOM, ie, 0% Probability of Use in Alternate Item Group, it is not loaded in the list of components in Planned Order. Only the Phantom that is as Prime in BOM is showed in the Planned Order, together with their subcomponents.
The other components that are not phantom, usually appear within the Planned Order, those that have 100% utilization, and those who have 0% utilization set in the BOM. Obviously, all requirement is pointed in the Prime Item, but I can change according to availability of material in MDVP or manually in CO02.
When the Production Order is created directly by CO01, without conversion of planned order, the list of components typically brings all the Phantoms, independently of the Probability Use %.
Someone tell me if there is some kind of configuration to allow the Phantoms Optional also be uploaded to the component list of planned orders without having to change the percentage of use in BOM.
Thanks in advance.

Hello MCantos,
When you have maintained the usage probability as 0% for a alternative component, that means you do not want that partular material to be planned further. In short this is just an Engineering Relevant Material (is not required in Production activity).
When this alternate material with usage probability 0% is phantom material, you want its components to be proposed. But you yourself have answered that this phantom material has usage probability 0% and this means it is not required in Production and thus its components as well are not required. Thus system is not exploding the BOM and proposing the material at the time of Production activity.
Hope I answered your query. Please check your usage probability for phantom assembly part and if required correct the same so that you can achive what you want.
Thanks,
Rahul.

Phantom Assembly Planned Order in APO

Sub : Incorrect quantity and Bucket for component in scenario of Phantom Assembly
Hi Gents,
I am using the Optimizer planning run for a scenario with Phantom assembly.
The master data has been used below
Material u2013 862700 (Finished goods)
1091895 (Phantom assembly maintained for above FG)
Location - 8501
Planning Book - ZAL_SNP_PB_BG
Data View - ZAL_SNP_DV_BGF
Optimizer profile - ZAL_OPT_01
I have entered a demand for above FG on 22.02.2012 and running a optimizer by selecting both FG and Phantom assembly. As a result the optimizer has created the planned order for FG from 18th to 22nd Dec. 2012. The advancement of the planned order is due to production capacity constraint. When i analysed System has created planned order for phantom assembly in last two buckets of the planning book and heneceforth the component requirement it is appearing only on last 2 buckets of the planning book. The date for this dependent demand is 28th and 29th Feb.2012 and the quantity is also wrong for the components as per the BOM.
The result I am expecting as system should create the planned order and dependent demand for the component maintain below phantom assembly should be same FG planed order date and quantity of component should also give the right requirement as per the BOM.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rajesh patil

HI Ipsita,
Did you try running it form SE38.
SE38 because in SE37 it is not necessary to give all the parameters..
But in SE38 you need to pass all the values required & Check form there.
Also you can check the details in PLAF-Table.
Thanks & regards,

Planned order is not creating for a phantom assembly

Dear experts
My fert having two semi finished components
first semifinished is assigned with a raw material
And second semifinished is assigned with two different raw material
in material master of second semifinished mrp2 view Special procurement=50
and after running mrp, second semifinished is not getting any planned order or dep requirement all the raw material under this getting planned order
But in my understanding of phantom second semifinished in should not get any planned order?
Am i correct?
Pls advise me where i need to check
Abu Fathiam

Hi,
Phantom assembly will generate planned order for its component when you will maintain:
Procurement type: E
Special procurement type: 50
Also in SPRO: OPPQ BOM explosion
Also check in BOM In basic data tab
In MRP Data screen, check explosion type- are you maintained phantom assembly off? Check it if you want planned order.
If you don't want system generated planned order for your phantom assembly component you should not maintain this indicator.

Phantom assembly quantity change in production order

Hello experts,
We are producing 1 type of goods, but for 2 different customers. each of them has their own specification for packaging. as per system it was decided to not create another finished goods partnumber with additional BOM, but instead we created 2 phantom assemblies in 1 BOM. 1 of them is the main (for customer 1), another one is alternative (for customer 2).
Now the idea was that whenever Purchasing is maintaining materials in production orders they were supposed to switch quantity from main phantom assembly to alternative phantom assembly whenever goods were required for customer 2.
We quickly tested the possibility of quantity change on our test server, but not entirely. the thing is, that for some reason you can change phantom assembly required quantity only if it's already has required quantity higher than 0. otherwise the item is greyed out and you can't perform any changes in it.Same happens if you simply reduce required quantity of phantom assembly item to 0. once you do so - the item becomes greyed out as well.
So, the question is - is it some kind of settings in BOM\MMD that prevents user from changing quantities for phantom assemblies (and if it is - where exactly you can change it), or it's something else (like i dunno, maybe user authorization issue or something).
Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. - i know that you can still simply remove entire item from production order and put it back with quantities and etc., but that way of work has higher risk of making a mistake.

Dear ,
Couple of points on this issue which may help you understand the problem : Bom Explosion With Phantom Assemblies will happen based on the following set up .
1. You need to maintain the special procurement key-50 for the phantom Assembly
in the MRP 2 View of the material master
2. We can override the Phantom Assembly Setting by defining in SPRO --->
Define Explosion Types so that MRP Creates Procurement Propasals for the
Phantom Assembly itself.ie We can Swith off the Phantom Assembly Settings.
This settting need to be defined in the BOM Item details screen in the Basic
Data Tab Page under MRP Area.
So check in your Bom whether switch off phantom assembly is defined.Make the Explosion Type-Blank
3.Run MRP Single Item - Multi level - Transaction MD02 with Planning Mode 2 : 'Re-explode BOM and Routing'. The Phantom Item will now get exploded correctly in the Planned Order.
4.Check the Validity of the BOM and planning date
5.Check the MRP4 set up in FG where you have kept the BOM/Routing selection
6.Check wether dependent requirement material master -MRP4 view -MRP for Depent Requ should be blank .
Check the above points and come back

Phantom Assembly not exploding in production order

Hi All,
We are using phantom assembly as a BOM component.
When we create a planed order from MD03 or MD02 and try to convert this planed order to production order the components of Phantom assembly are not explode in production order. When I tried with read PP master data option it get explode.
Can you please let me know the reason?
Thanks,

Problem with Phantom Assembly

Hi expert,
I have question with BOM and production process. In packaging industry, At start we have 8 components for finish goods. but recently, 2 component 0020 and 0030 (example bottle cap and sticker) will issue from warehouse for assembly process before return to warehouse. then re-issue to use for finish goods.
usually component 0020 and 0030 will convert to another component or change to semi-finish goods.i must create this BOM , Routing , and Open Production Order.and change component in finish goods,
if i not create BOM , Routing , and open Production Order. but create new component as semi-finish goods for item from assembly process to use in finish goods BOM as phantom assembly.
how is my resolution, possible or impossible? , will be any problem in the future. any advise is good.
regards,
kittisak.

Hi,
There are 2 possibilities in this case.
If you do not want to make stock of your HALB then make this as Phantom and include the assembly operations (manufacturing operations) in the header level material so that the activities will be captured at the Time of FERT confirmations.
If you want to make a track of the stock for re issue from Warehouse then no other way.
You should maintain it as HALB with BOM nad Routing, Pl. Order and Production Order route to capture the stocks and issue it to FERT production.
Hope this clarifies..

Phantom assembly

I want to understand phantom assembly concept..
I have gone through sdn and find this answer to be understandable..
Phantom Assembly:
A logical grouping of materials.
A phantom assembly is created in engineering to describe a number of components and manage them
as a whole. The components in a phantom assembly are immediately placed in the superior assembly.
Components in an assembly are first assembled to produce the header material. Then header material
is placed in the superior assembly.
Example
The phantom assembly "set of wheels" contains the components "front wheel" and "rear wheel." The front and rear wheels are immediately placed in the "bicycle" assembly. The "light" assembly contains the materials "bulb" and "reflector." The light components are first assembled and then the light is attached to the bicycle.
Settings to be done:
For configurations settings goto OPPQ for maintaining the values of special.key
Special procurement key value 50 must be set in the MRP2 view of the material master.
For the materials for which sp.procurement value 50 is set the system creates the planned orders and
purchase requisitions for the components of the phantom assembly.
Regards
Mangalraj.S
But can anybody tell me, In the above where should we maintain the sp prc key 50.. In the fron wheel or in the rear wheel...
Pls explain me..

Hi,
"In the above where should we maintain the sp prc key 50.. In the fron wheel or in the rear wheel..."
For this you need to create an logican assy new mat no in MMR.ex: xxxxx for which components are rear wheel - Rxxx, front wheel - Fxxx ..
Assign 50 in mrp 2 view of assy xxxxx material .
now this xxxxx material is phantom assy.
when you run MRP for FG this phantom assy will get explode and dependent req will be created for Rxxx and Fxxx directly with out creating planned order for xxxxx mat..
come back futher if you have any doubt.

vinoth

Phantom, Assembly, Reference Operation Set

Hi All,
I am always having a little confusion with follwoings, so could you please help me to understand clearly will be grateful.
What is Phantom ?
What is Assembly ?
What is the difference between Phantom & Assembly ?
What is Reference Operation Set ?
What is the difference between Routing and Reference Operation Set ?
At which situation Reference Operation Set is used instead of Routing in SAP?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Madhan,
Phantom
Phantom assembly is a logical grouping of material.
Design point of view it is assembled.
Physically not assembled, but logically it is assembled.
Ex: CAR
BOM Header: CAR
Item: ENGINE
For ENGINE: Items are cylinder, piston, crankshaft....Here engine is phantom... while manufacturing car, engine is mandatory so if u assign engine as phantom it won't create planned order for engine. We can direct issue the materials (such as cylinder, Piston, CS) to car; by that time it reduces the work of issue and receiving goods to engine assembly.
But if u want engine as spare parts that time u can create planned independent requirement for engine and u can stock as ordinary processes...
In material master of MRP 2 view spl. procurement key - 50.
or Assign in BOM item - make tick mark in phantom assmbly.
If you create in material master wherever the material, system consider as a phantom.
If you mark in BOM, only that particular BOM, system consider as a phantom.
There is no stocking of phantom material

Question regarding Phantom assembly

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

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

Removing Phantom assemblies from Demand (Ord Res/ Dep Req) & CO24

Issue 1) I have the issue that I want to maintain Phantom Assemblies with sp procurement key 50 but I want the components in the Phantom assemblies to show as Ord Res / dep req directly to the Top level item and not to his Phantom?
Is there any way of ignoring the phantoms in the stock requirements list. The business wish to see demand for the procured items coming straight (or linked) to the Top level assembly.
Issue 2) Can anyone show me how get the Sales order on the Missing parts list CO24? It is a field to be used but when I select and it comes on the layout the data is blank ?
Cheers Milton

Mrp for phantom assembly

Dear Gurus
My main item is a phantom assembly the sales order comes for the phantom assembly only.I have got a multilevel bom for this phantom assembly .The bom of the phantom assembly contains the semifinished item. And the bom of the semifinished item contain raw materials.Now while running MRP I dont want any planned orders to be generated for phantom assembly the system should create planned order for semifinished item and purchase requisition for raw material.How can it be done.

Component allocation of phantom assembly

I have a phantom assembly "X" with its components as A, B, C, D. During component allocation in routing do I need to allocate Phantom Assembly "X" to an operation as well.
Please specify the reason for YES and NO?

Hi
Check the following:
Material components in a BOM that are not assigned to an operation in the routing are automatically assigned to the first operation when you create a production order.
If you have assigned a phantom assembly to an operation in a routing, the system automatically assigns all of the material components in the phantom assembly to the same operation as the phantom assembly when you create a production order.
If you have assigned individual material components from the phantom assembly to various operations without also allocating the phantom assembly, the system assigns the material components that have not been assigned and the phantom assembly to the beginning of the first operation when you create a production order.
Thanks
