Definition

If a material master record has special procurement key 50 (phantom assembly), then dependent requirements, planned orders, and purchase orders are generated for the components of the material, not for the phantom assembly itself. Only the components of the phantom assembly are displayed when you explode the BOM in production.

Phantom assemblies let you group components together for organizational or technical reasons, even though they do not constitute an assembly from the production point of view.

If you set this indicator, the special procurement key is read when you explode the BOM in the configuration editor. This means that materials that have the phantom-assembly special procurement key are not displayed - only their components are displayed.
