         <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>
