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.

Open items are aged in one of five user-defined aging periods as defined in Accounts Receivable Parameters, ACR820D-01.

This program features multiple-level shop calendar maintenance. You can maintain a shop calendar at the global, facility, or work center level. Global level entries override default values found in Work Center Maintenance, CAP100D1, for any program that uses the shop calendar.

Facility overrides affect all work centers in a Facility and are exceptions to the global level. Exceptions defined at the Facility level apply to all work centers for the facility. Work Center calendar entries are the most specific. These entries apply....
