  SAP Error Message:
  VMP_MSG343: Planning phantom assembly for shop floor BOM not possible
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to plan a phantom assembly (a non-stocked, transient assembly used to simplify BOM structures) but the Bill of Materials (BOM) for that phantom assembly is defined as a shop floor BOM (also called a production BOM or routing BOM). 
  In SAP, phantom assemblies are typically planned using sales BOMs or production BOMs without routing, but shop floor BOMs are specifically designed for detailed production planning and execution, including routing and work centers.
  The system does not allow planning of phantom assemblies if the BOM is a shop floor BOM because shop floor BOMs are intended for discrete production orders and detailed shop floor control, not for phantom assemblies which are exploded during planning.
