	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>In regular order-based planning, phantoms are treated in the following way:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>The phantom is replaced by the components in its BOM</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The phantom's routing is treated as part of the existing routing</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>If a generic item G has a phantom, the phantom's components and operations are offset relative to the planned order finish date of G. The way in which this is done depends on whether the phantom itself is a generic item or a normal item. Below you will find an example of both situations.</Paragraph>
