Phantom BOM

Hi Experts,
I have a semi-finished item which I do not want to produce to the inventory. Its just an intermediate product. This particular item is used in many different finished goods. Can I set it up as a phantom BOM so that it will help me to have easier control in planning. Will it eliminate the extra effort of having to confirm the semi-finished item before the finished item? Please also tell me the other implications of Phantom item.
Regards,
Sachin

Dear Sachin,
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:
1.For configurations settings goto OPPQ for maintaining the values of special.key
2.Special procurement key value 50 must be set in the MRP2 view of the material master.
3.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.
4.Stock will not be exist at phantom assembly level which means confirmations will not be made at phantom assembly level.
Check and revert back.

PHANTOM BOM - HELP REQD.

Hi GURUS /EXPERTS,
Please tell me the STEPS & T-Code for creating a Phantom BOM.
With Thanks.
DSC

Dear,
We have phantom assemblies defined in BOM's,with phantom indicator columnm flagged.
In this Bom Explosion With Phantom Assemblies:
1. You need to maintain the special procurement key for the phantom Assembly
in the MRP 2 View of the material master
2. If a Bom item is a phantom assembly , the dependent reqmts of the higher
level assembly are directly passed to the components of the phantom
assembly skipping the phantom assembly.
3. Planned orders/ Purchase requisitions are created for the components of the
phantom assembly.
4. 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.
Thank you.
Naveen.

BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE problems with component allocation of phantom BOMs

I try to create a routing via the BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE and all works fine until I try to do component allocations for phantom BOM lines in the next level.
In my simple BOM I have the following structure:
00004465 (ROOT BOM)
+
+---Phantom_BOM_B (BOM 00004466)
    +
    +---Material_X
+---Material_Y
I only can allocation Material Y and BOM_B but I am not able to allocate the material X instead of the BOM_B, in that case I always get the message "The component to be assigned has not been completely specified".
My COMPONENTALLOCATION Table Code:
T_COM-SEQUENCE_NO = '000000'.
T_COM-OPERATION_ID = '0010'.
T_COM-BOM_TYPE = 'M'.
T_COM-BOM_NO = '00004466'.
T_COM-ALTERNATIVE_BOM = '01'.
T_COM-ITEM_ID = '00000001'.
T_COM-ITEM_NO = '0010'.
T_COM-BACKFLUSH = 'X'.
T_COM-PLANT = '1000'.
T_COM-MATERIAL = ''.
T_COM-BOM_TYPE_ROOT = 'M'.
T_COM-BOM_NO_ROOT = '00004465'.
T_COM-ALTERNATIVE_BOM_ROOT = '01'.
*T_COM-PATH = '000001'.
I hope some can help me to find me, a solution to solve my problem.
Thanks
Jörg

Dear ,
Phantom BOM means which you want to plan interm of Operation Hrs and Issue Componenets but not intereted to Physically Store rather re-ssiue it to Main FG .
Now ,from your requirement it s clear that BOM : 00004465(ROOT BOM) is for your FG (Let Say A) BOM : 00004466 is a SFG (Let say B) as Root BOM component , which is In House produced .
Bascically , If you do not want to *Store B( Phantom BOM) * but want plan the depedent of B ( X, Y , Z etc ) along with A's dependent and also cost of B ( Phantom BOM )   , then the routing hrs /component along will be issued directly to A( Root BOM) ,
So you do not need to create Routing for Phatom BOM and also no componenet alocation required . Better , you can add that routing operation hrs to main routing of the FG .
Hope this is clear

Transferring the Phantom BOM as PPM in APO.

Hi,
We want to transfer a Finished goods BOM with Phantom item to APO as PPM. Can anyone suggest the steps required for the same. We already tried to transfer, instead of Components, Phantom item is getting transfered and getting assigned to different operation in PPM.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
SP

Hi,
Please refer to OSS note 448085 PPM Transfer Tips and Tricks
It clarifies that during CIF transfer Components that have the phantom item indicator are not transferred.

Individual/Collective in BOM With Phantoms

Hello All
Iu2019m working with variant configuration using strategy group 65.
My BOM has several levels and the first level is always a phantom.
When exploding the BOM MRP create individual requirements for each component.
Because the components are used in other finish goods with different strategy I don´t want to set in the mater data the individual collective flag to 2. Instead I create e new explosion type in the BOM to create collective requirements.
My problem is that MRP bypasses this explosion type from the BOM when the component is phantom which forces me to enter it at the level of the no phantom component.
Is possible by any means force MRP to only create Collective Requirements for the Components of a MTO ?
Thereu2019s any chance to force SAP to Look to the explosion type in the phantoms and create only collective requirements?
Thanks for your comments
Pedro Coelho

Dear
I do not think so it is possible in Standrad MTO process .
In MTO process , you can not club all the Depedent Requirement ( Phantom BOM -componenets ) in to one PR utlising MRP4 individual and Collective Indicator .
Basically indiviaul /collective indicator MRP4 as 2 then PRs or planned orders will be generated during the MRP run for dependent requirements with account assigned to respective WBSE or Sale order
Where as at header level it will work like this : Individual and collective indicator in mrp4 view
Just check this

Phantom assembly BOM

Hi All,
My client has the following setup:
They have a BOM for the Finished product (Sub Contract BOM) but one item is a phantom assembly which has it's own BOM.
In there current system they only use BOM usage 1 for production. In the upgrade system we use production and sub con BOM usage.
Any recommendation as to what usage to use for the phantom BOM?
Sub con or production?
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
It's usage should be production, as BOM item is a phantom assembly, the dependent requirements of the higher-level assembly are directly passed on to the components of the phantom assembly. The phantom assembly itself is still not taken into account.
Why do you want to use sub-con usage?
Regards,
R.Brahmankar

Multi Level Phantoms

Looking for guidance / lessons learned on phantoms. I have several assemblies that use multi level phantoms assemblies and the problem I am encountering is when the the BOMs all get pushed up to the top level, the shop order cannot be cut due to duplicates.
A very basic example is I have screw that goes into a plate. The plate is a phantom and used on two different sub assemblies. These sub assemblies are phantoms and report to the same top level assembly that I am building. When I attempt to cut a shop order, the screw that was all the way at the bottom appears twice on the top level BOM when the two phantom BOMs are pushed up and causes an errorpreventing me from moving forward.
I currently set my special procurement type 50 in MM03. I have heard that I could set it up on the individual BOMs, however I do not see this fixing the problem as the material and item number of the duplicate will remain the same regardless of how it was set up.
Any advice or inputs? Please let me know if you need more detail.
Thanks.

Hello
Can you please provide more details about the error? Is there an error message? Can you please provide the message ID, number and the description?

Typical BOM issues

Hi,
What are the typical BOM issues a client could face ? I know this is a very generic question but what I am looking for is what is the best way to structure BOMs so that the stocking level is optimized. Can we use phantoms and how do we decide at what level a phantom is to be established ? I know we use phantoms for nonstock items and to reduce the number of production orders being created to manufacture a high level assembly.
Also would a phantom always be marked as "ND" MRP type? What would be the std cost of a phantom? Would it be the cost rollup of its components and the labor needed to assemble the phantom when one needs to manufacture the higher level assembly ?
Thanks

Dear ,
Let me share my experince in terms of BOM which is crticial PP Master data durung our implemention :
What are the typical BOM issues a client could face
1.Need to understnd the product line Standard and Non Standard .Decison on Structed BOM as per the product design and then establish the same in MTS process .For MTO process , you should have BOM establishement from inquiery and quetion level to freeze the BOM .
The engineering depart ment is the crtitical part of BOM establishement .They shpuld have proper approved design and also alternative crtocial items for structured BOM.
2.Usageablity and Costing relevencey in the BOM .You can keep Universal BOM for multi purpose .
3.Engineering Change Number under ECM to investigate the validity .
4.Selection of BOM based on priority and also Selection Alternative BOM method as per SAP Standrad procedure .
Can we use phantoms and how do we decide at what level a phantom is to be established ? Yes.You can use the Phatom assmbly as long you do not want to keep the stock physically but want to plan the dependent through Main FG where Phantom BOM will be a item .Phantom BOM genereally comes under main FG so that during MRP , it will explode the dependent alsong with Main and the cost will be subsequenlt rolled uo at header level .
Also would a phantom always be marked as "ND" MRP type? No .If you keep ND , then it will not be teared through MRP and dependent will not be planned .It's usage should be production, as BOM item is a phantom assembly, the dependent requirements of the higher-level assembly are directly passed on to the components of the phantom assembly .In material master of MRP 2 view spl. procurement key - 50. 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.
What would be the std cost of a phantom?
Phantom material does not need to have a standard cost becuase the costing program will ignore that particular material when calculating for the upperl level item. Instead, the cost of the components that make up the phantom assembly are taken into consideration. Any labor that is stored in the routing for the phantom assembly is also ignored if one exists.
Please farther refer the belwo thread to have complete picture

Hope this clarifies

Phantom components planning

Hi,
Please suggest me on following scenario. i have been posting planning related questions from so long but still waiting for proper suggestions. here it follows,
This is make to order scenario by keeping components stock through planning.
I have a KMAT material K with phantom assemblies P1(assume red) and P2(assume blue) with their components PR1(semi or raw), PR2 respectively. initially they want to forecast KMAT material for that i suggested PS 89, but they do not want to do probability for characteristic values. so i suggested them plan components directly but they want to plan phantom assemblies so that they procure their components separately from vendors. if i use PS 59 for phantom assemblies it is generating planned orders which nobody wants to convert to prod orders. if i use PS 70 for phantom components it is always generating planned orders for quantity 1 as dependent requirement for phantom assembly.
So what planning stratgies do i need to use for all level materials, if any SO comes for KMAT material K, P1 P2 PIRs should consume so PIRs of components PR1, PR2. they do not want to forecast for PR1 or PR2, they want to forecast P1, P2 should generate dependent requirements in order to procure separately. if i use PS 70 for P1, again its component PR1 is always generating planned order for quantity 1 as dependent requirement of P1. please suggest me if anybody faced similar scenarios.
Thanks in advance.

7,
You have fallen into the trap of allowing the client to pre-define the solution, and then make unreasonable and illogical demands as to how this preselected solution should work. You are much better off asking the client to list his business requirements, in greater and greater detail, until you find the best match between his requirements and one of the many Standard Solutions.
For instance, Configurable material is not a requirement, it is a solution. Phantom BOMs are not a requirement, they are a solution. First find out why the client thinks he needs all of these features to run his business.
I won't make a suggestion, and then have you tell me why it won't work, and then I respond, and so forth and so on. If it were my client, I woul tell him that there is no standard solution. If he wants all of his predefined requirements to be met, then I would tell him the only options are for him to revisit and relax his requirements, or face the expense of a customized solution.

REG: Creating customer stock for different material codes has an single set

Hi FRIENDS,
we are purchasing finished items from our vendor in numbers (Eg. Item Number 1 to 6 (all different items and having different item codes)) and selling it to our customer in a set ( 1 set contains all this 6 items and we have code for this Set). Please let me know how to create the customer stock for these items in the store as the store shows stock for 7 different items, not in a set.
Please let em know if any more information is nedded

hi dan,
as per your requriment you can have all MRP viewsfor HAWA material type.
that means you are purchasing, use HAWA for finished goods in SAP system.
if you are having different item codes seperately for each item.
take one packing material called CARTON and maintain UOM as 6 items and you can pack the same in BOM.
use PP -PHANTOM - BOM which should add all the 7 materials in & gives one single material as OUTPUT.
use 561 GMT and upload that material as a final finished goods and in MMBE you can see only one called CARTON inside it set of 6 materials will be there.
BUT BE AWARE OF COSTING OF THE MATERIAL because each material will be having the its price. So discuiss with PP as well as FICO consultants.
whether you will cost the total set of carton or individual material
go ahead
test and confirm
this clears your issue

Subcontracting - How to plan the components in MRP

Hi Experts,
We have the following requirement to map the subcontracting scenario in SAP MM.
1) Subcontracting PR has to be generated during MRP run for all the FERT materials ( Done )
2) Auto convertion of PR into PO by scheduling the batch job ( Done )
3) Goods issue with subcon delivery ( done )
4) Pick list from subcon delivery ( possible)
My question here is How to create the delivery schedule lines for components thru MRP and made available to the subcontractor in the required date.Client does not want to maintain the inventory for even 1 week.
Example :
FG required date 7.01.2009
PO release date 30.12.2008
Component level A Requirement date 29.12.2008 ( How we can control in MRP)
Component Level B Requirment date 03.01.2009 ( How we can control in MRP)
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks / Karthik

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Let me brief about the process.
Client wants to consign the components at subcontractor's place and will be considered as a separate plant.So the subcontractor will manage the component stock which is supplied by third party vendor directly to the subcontractors place. so there will not be any frieght cost issue.
But the client requirement is not to spend more money on component inventory so when the level 1 components are required the system should generate the delivery scedule with required dates.
1) Component A is reqd to manufacture the HALB assemply at level 1
2) Component B & HALB to manufacture the Finished Goods at level 2
My requirement during MRP run
1) PR for FG
2) Delivery Scedule for Component A with reqd date
3) Delivery scedule for component B with reqd date
Can I make HALB as phantom BOM???
or Suggest me how I can do other way round..
Thanks / karthik

Pre-blend Material

Hi,
This issue is related with pre-blend material .We are currently using Sales BOM concept.
We have a finished product_" Au201D, which has the components X, Y and Z materials_.
The material "X" has 2 components "S and T ".
So In Create Material BOM (CS01), I used BOM usage 5 . For material "A u201C, I assigned X,Y, and Z .
When you mix X,Y and Z materials , you will get the finished product "A ".
Again for " X " material, i assigned S and T in CS01.
When you mix S and T materials, you will get finished product "X ".
My requirement is that the components costs should be rolled -up to the higher material.
If VPRS is
S = 10
T = 20 then X = 30
Again
X = 30
Y = 20
Z = 10 then A = 60.
This 60 should be posted to Cost of goods account after Post goods issue and again in Invoice (COPA).
This is a proposed solution. For material X we may use Phantom BOM material or non-stock item.
Now we are using this function in the following way:
Material A has the components Y, Z, S and T in CS01. In Delivery the components only posts the Goods issue. The system picks the cost price from the respective components material masters.
Material A is assigned Higher-level material Item category (ZHBM) that is relevant for Price, cost. In schedule line category, no movement type is maintained. So material A Will not issue the goods.
Materials Y, Z,S and T are assigned lower level material Item category ( ZLBM ) which is not relevant for Price , cost. In schedule line category, movement type 601is maintained.
In Delivery document in VL01N, the components only posts the Goods issue. The system picks the cost price from the respective components material masters.
In Invoice, the system calculates the VPRS cost for material "A ". This VPRS is the sum up of the components Y, Z, S, T.
It works fine.
I need a solution for Pre blend material concept,
If you need any clarifications, please let me know
Regards
M. Lakshmi Narasimhan

Dear Chandrasekhar Mantravadi ,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
My Client is a Mining Industry.
They are using material A, which is a Fini material. Material A has the components Y, Z, S, T in CS01.
Now it is working fine. The Components Cost is rolled up to the higher material "A "
But when you mix Materials S and T, you will get a new product "X ". This material is called Pre-blend material.
Why did we use Pre-blend material?
When Printing the BOL, we need to print the material X also in BOL. But you donu2019t see the material S & T physically. Because of
the pre-blend scenario, the delivery documents are no longer accurate or legal for transport. In order to work around this, the
sites are utilizing manual Bills of Lading (BOL).To avoid manual BOL we will go for this solution .
As i mentioned earlier material X has the components S & T. The cost of S & T should be rolled up to X.
Then material A has the components X, Y and Z. The cost of X, Y and Z should be rolled up to A.
I have also suggested the Phantom BOM concept. For material X, i created the Material master record as a Phantom material (In MRP 2 view --> Special procurement 50).
Then i maintained the BOM assignment for X in CS01. But the cost is not rolled up.
If you need more clarifications, please let me know.

PP - Explosão de BOM Phantom em Ordem Planejada

Olá pessoal!
Tenho um cenário onde dentro do meu Produto Acabado, tenho vários componentes organizados em Grupo de Alternates, e para cada grupo, defino um componente como Principal ( 100% de utilização ) e os outros como Opcionais ( 0% de utilização ). Entre esses componentes existem alguns que são configurados como Phantom ( Special Procurement 50 ), e esses itens Phantom, quando são Opcionais na BOM, ou seja, 0% de Probabilidade de Uso em Alternate Item Group, ele não é carregado na lista de componentes da Ordem Planejada. Apenas o Phantom que está como Principal aparece na Ordem Planejada, juntamente com seus subcomponentes.
Os demais componentes que não são Phantom, aparecem normalmente dentro da Ordem Planejada, tanto os que tem 100% de utilização, quanto os que tem 0% definido na BOM. Obviamente, toda a necessidade é apontada no item Principal, mas eu posso modificar de acordo com a disponibilidade do material.
Quando a Ordem de Produção é criada diretamente pela CO01, sem conversão de Ordem Planejada, a lista de componentes traz todos os Phantoms normalmente, independente do percentual de utilização.
Alguém sabe me dizer se existe algum tipo de configuração para permitir que os Phantoms Opcionais, também sejam carregados para lista de componentes das Ordens Planejadas sem precisar alterar o percentual de utilização na BOM?
Agradeço antecipadamente.

Olá Márcio,
você descobriu se há parametrização para sua questão?
Abraço.

How to use CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 to include bom under Phantom

Hi every1,
How can I get documentation for this function module CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2
We want to explode BOM on single level ,including Material which is coming under Phantom assembly too.
eg. I have one material 1xxxxx.
after exploding single level bom suppose I'll get these material
1xxxx1
1xxxx2
1xxxx3 and if 1xxxx3 is Phantaom assembly and under this item again I may have 1xxxx1 as bom item.
that means for my parent material 1xxxxx, I want 1xxxx1 should come 2 times !
Is there any simpliest way to get or for this item again I need to use this FM again ?
Pl. do help me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
THE FM 'CS_BOM_EXPLOSION_MAT' mentioned above holds true if u dont hv any alternatives for the BOM.
eg: If ur component in turn has BOM with 3 alternatives namely 01,02,03
then ideally FM should pick all the items uder these 3 components but this FM picks by default the 1st
alternative & ignores the rest.
So there are changes dat the list which u hv gpt is not 100%.
Through Tcode CS12 u can see the level wise components for a BOM.
U can gather the component details with this Tcode if u hv very few BOMs to explore.
But if the count is higher u hv to select acoding way for it....
Attaching a part of code to explore multilevel BOM.....hope dis ll help u......

How to tick phantom item indicator in BOM

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.
