I just finished a meeting about phantom BOM items and wanted to get the community’s perspective. From what I’m seeing, continuing down the phantom path might reduce visibility into what’s actually being built and why. It also looks like materials tied to phantom BOMs won’t appear on the Critical Materials screen.
My question: who here is actively using phantom BOMs, and what real advantages have you found?
Our main reason for considering phantoms is to avoid creating separate production orders for subassemblies that we don’t stock, which would otherwise lead to redundant move transactions and extra data entry.
