  Error Message:
  VMP_MSG340
  Cannot save planning scope with phantom assembly in shop floor BOM
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to save a planning scope (e.g., in production order, process order, or planning run) that includes a phantom assembly in the shop floor BOM (Bill of Materials).
  
  Phantom assemblies are special types of BOM items that are not produced or stocked themselves but are used to simplify BOM structure by grouping components.
  In shop floor BOMs, phantom assemblies are not allowed because the shop floor BOM is intended to represent the actual production structure on the shop floor, where only real, tangible assemblies and components are valid.
  The system detects that the BOM used in the planning scope contains a phantom assembly and therefore blocks saving to prevent inconsistencies in production planning and execution.
