Aphantom assemblyin SAP S/4HANA is a virtual component that is not physically stocked-its components are directly consumed in the higher-level assembly. To set it up:
* Select a special procurement type inside the material master(A): In the material master (MRP 2 view, field: Special Procurement), set the value to "50" (Phantom Assembly). Thistells MRP and production to bypass stocking the phantom material and explode its BOM directly into the next level (e.g., in CO01 or MD02).
* Define the special procurement type inside the material BOM (bill of material)(D): In the BOM (CS02), for the phantom component, set the "Special Procurement" field (Item Detail screen) to "50." This overrides the material master setting for that specific BOM usage, ensuring the phantom behavior applies only in that context.
Use a special item category(B) like "L" (Stock Item) or "N" (Non-Stock) in the BOM (CS01, Item Category) defines component handling but does not designate a phantom-phantom status comes from procurement type.Select a special MRP type(C) (MRP 1 view) controls planning (e.g., "PD" for MRP), not phantom behavior. This is per SAP's phantom assembly configuration.
