Infor LN & Baan Tip: Navigating the Complexities of Surcharges on Phantom Items in Manufacturing

Is it ok to define surcharges on phantom items?

It is advised not to use surcharges on phantom items for the following reasons:

  1. The usage of phantom surcharges makes it, in general, more difficult to understand, verify, and explain the result of the cost price calculation.
  2. Real phantom items do not exist in real life. It is only an efficient way to specify the BOM. It is therefore questionable if surcharges should be defined for these non-existing phantom items.
  3. The usage of phantom surcharges can lead to variances in production orders, depending on the actual usage of the phantom.
  4. When surcharges based on added costs are defined for both the main item and the phantom item, then the surcharge will be applied twice.

Alternatives are:

  • Define the required surcharges on the main item of the phantom.
  • Define the required surcharges on the sub-item of the phantom.
  • Define a (backflush) operation on the phantom to cover the handling costs (if any) of a phantom item.

Orders that are on credit hold, customer hold, user hold, margin hold, credit card hold or pricing hold cannot be selected for Pick Release or Pick Confirm. The ORD952B, Orders Not Selected Report, can be requested at Pick Release or Pick Confirm to list any order that would normally qualify for selection, but has been excluded for other reasons, and to print that reason. ORD952B has been modified to validate the hold status of the original customer order, and to print a reference to the original customer order along with the reason.
