You need to only account for components of a specific item in a BOM and not track the production order. Which BOM line type should you use?

The correct choice is Phantom, as it allows you to manage components that are included in a bill of materials (BOM) without the need to track the production order. In a manufacturing context, a phantom item is essentially a grouping of components that are not stocked individually but are consumed in the production of a finished product. When a phantom BOM is utilized, the components are treated as part of the finished good during the planning and production processes but do not create separate inventory or tracking requirements for the production order itself.

Choosing a phantom BOM line type is particularly advantageous when the components are transient in nature or when they are assembled on-the-fly during production rather than being separately processed. This minimizes complexity in inventory management and keeps the focus on the final product, while still accounting for the necessary components that contribute to that product.

Other BOM line types serve different purposes. For example, an item BOM reflects items that are separately tracked, and a vendor BOM typically involves components directly associated with a particular supplier, both of which imply a level of tracking and management over production orders. Pegged supply relates more to inventory allocation based on specific production orders and supply chain demands, which does not align with the requirement to disregard tracking the production order. Therefore, using the phantom BOM
