A company produces multiple products that require an installation kit that includes 50 components.
The company does not want to include these 50 components in every Bill of materials (BOM)
You have a BOM kit that includes all 50 components, but you do not want it to produce a separate production order.
You need to set up the product BOM for the finished good.

A. B. C. D.C.
In this scenario, the company wants to produce multiple products that require an installation kit that includes 50 components, but they do not want to include these 50 components in every Bill of Materials (BOM). Instead, they have a BOM kit that includes all 50 components, but they do not want it to produce a separate production order.
To set up the product BOM for the finished good, you need to create a BOM that includes the BOM kit as a component. However, to avoid creating a separate production order for the BOM kit, you need to set the line type to a Phantom item.
A Phantom item is an item that appears in the BOM but is not physically consumed during the production process. Instead, it is used to aggregate the requirements of its child items and can be thought of as a placeholder for the child items.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Select Phantom on the engineering fast tab on the kit item. By selecting Phantom on the engineering fast tab, the system will treat the BOM kit as a Phantom item and will not create a separate production order for it. Instead, the components of the BOM kit will be included in the production order for the finished good that includes the BOM kit as a component.
Changing the coverage group to Manual (answer B) or changing the line type to Pegged supply (answer D) will not achieve the desired result in this scenario. Changing the line type to Phantom (answer C) is the correct option, but it is important to select Phantom on the engineering fast tab of the kit item, as this will ensure that the BOM kit is treated as a Phantom item.
