• Key Concepts: 
  A phantom item is a type of item in SAP Business One (SBO) that is used to represent a group of items. It is not a physical item, but rather an item that is used to represent a group of items in the system. The phantom item can be used to simplify the process of creating and managing inventory, as it allows for the grouping of multiple items into one. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a phantom item, you must first create it in the system. This can be done by going to the Inventory tab in SBO and selecting “Create Phantom Item”. Once the phantom item has been created, you can then assign it to a group of items. This can be done by selecting the items you want to group together and then assigning them to the phantom item. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a phantom item, it is important to give it a descriptive name so that it is easy to identify and remember. Additionally, when assigning items to the phantom item, make sure that all of the items are related and have similar characteristics. This will make it easier to manage and track inventory in the future.
