Add phantom items to a manufacturing order

Related topics

The phantom items that you add to a manufacturing order will only affect that particular manufacturing order and not the basic item structure of the produced item. This means that a certain sub-assembly can be defined as a phantom item in one manufacturing order but not in another.

Note: If the sub-assembly should always be treated as a phantom item this will have to be defined in the item structure of the parent item. See Define phantom items in an item structure for instructions.

  1. Select the Work with manufacturing orders menu item.
  2. On the initial panel, select the manufacturing order for which you want to add phantom items and click Bill of mat.
  3. You access Manufacturing order maintenance, Bill of material. Click Phantom items to work with phantom items.
  4. You access Manufacturing order maintenance, Phantom items.

    5. You can perform the following tasks on this panel:

    • Select a phantom item and click Material to view its material.
    • Select a phantom item and click Operation to view its operations.
    • Select a phantom item and click Delete to remove it from the manufacturing order.
    • Click Add to add a phantom item to the manufacturing order.

    For this task, click Add.

  5. You access the Manufacturing order maintenance, Phantom items detail panel. Complete the following fields:
    6. Item
    Enter the item to be treated as a phantom item.
    Whs
    Enter the warehouse where the item is manufactured.

    If the STKOWNER (Stock Ownership) function is activated in the Function control file, the warehouse entered must be classified as a normal or trade (logical) warehouse (i.e. the Warehouse characteristic flag in Work with warehouses must be set to 1 (normal) or 2 (trade). See About the stock ownership functionality for more information.

    Quantity
    Enter the quantity in stock unit.

    Click OK.

  6. You return to the initial Manufacturing order maintenance, Phantom items panel listing the phantom items. Click Add if you want to add more phantom items to the manufacturing order. For this task, go back to the Bill of material panel. Click Header.
  7. You access Manufacturing order maintenance, Header. You have the following options:
    • Click Material to view the sequence numbers for the end item and the phantom item in the new bill of material.
    • Click Operations to view the operation numbers for the end item and the phantom item in the new bill of routing.

    Note: The sequence numbers and operation numbers are sometimes changed when phantom items are added to the manufacturing order. See Operation and sequence numbering for more information.

Exit the routine.
