| Phantom Routing Relationships (tirou1103m000) |  |
| Usually, if a phantom is a component in an end item, the phantom component is issued from the warehouse that is defined in the phantom's BOM. This is also the case when the phantom is used in an end item that is produced on a different product line than the phantom. Use this session to select a routing for the phantom dependent on where the end item is produced. This means that you can choose a phantom routing dependent on a specific combination of an end item and an end item routing. For example, if your end item has a routing with work centers in China, you can select a routing for the phantom that has also work centers in China. Related topics Direct material supply (DMS)
Fields | Description
Parent Item | The end item in which a phantom is used as a component.
Parent Routing | The end item's routing.
Phantom Item | An assembly that is produced as part of a manufactured item, and that can have its own routing. A phantom is usually not held in inventory, although occasionally some inventory can exist. The planning system does not create material requirements for a phantom, but drives the requirements straight through the phantom item to its components. Phantoms are mainly defined to create a modular product structure. Example The door of a refrigerator is defined as a phantom item in the bill of material of a refrigerator. The materials of the door are listed on the production order's material list for the refrigerator.
