Hello Community, 

I am trying to create a BOM with a phantom subassembly child on one of my operations. I have costs set on the materials of the phantom BOM. The problem is the cost does not roll into an estimate when copying the parent BOM onto the “Estimates” form. It loads the operation with the phantom item but with 0 cost. I do have the cost set to 0 on the parent BOM I am loading on the estimate, but the materials of the phantom BOM are manually set and should calculate up to 6000. Is there a way of getting the phantom material cost to “Explode” for the estimate before the creation of the production order? 

Phantom BOM: 

 

Parent BOM:

 

Estimation Operation: 

Thanks,

Adam
