Hello, I am curious about NetSuite Phantom Assembly. Can I use Phantom Assembly Item in a Sales Order line? What I want to achieve is: 1. Reduce raw material stock when there is Sales Order on that Phantom Assembly Item, but not maintaining the assembled item stock 2. I want to calculate the COGS from the Phantom Assembly Item Currently I don't have manufacturing module activated, and wonder if my case could be solved like above.

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that you can use a Phantom Assembly Item in a Sales Order line. However, there are a few things to consider: 1. When you use a Phantom Assembly Item, the system will not maintain the assembled item stock. Instead, it will reduce the raw material stock when there is a Sales Order on that Phantom Assembly Item. This is because the Phantom Assembly Item is not considered a physical item, but rather a representation of the components it consists of. 2. Calculating the COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) from the Phantom Assembly Item can be a bit tricky. When an assembly is built, it rolls up into the finished goods inventory account and when the assembly is shipped, the COGS transaction happens at the finished good COGS account. If you want to see it broken out by COGS ingredients and COGS packaging, you might need to do some custom reporting or adjusting Journal Entries at month-end. 3. You might not need the manufacturing module activated to achieve this. You could use an Item Group or a Kit Item rather than an assembly. Then the fulfillment would treat the components individually. Remember, this is based on the information from the conversations and might not cover all the specifics of your case. You might need to do some additional configuration or customization to achieve exactly what you want. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
