Consider an example BOM:

Example BOMImage Modified

If all of the inline and phantom sub-assembly BOMs are published, the flattened BOM for the parent Assembly A will look like this:


Flattened BOMImage Modified

If the BOM of inline Sub-assembly B is unpublished, the flattened BOM for the parent Assembly A will look like this:


Flattened BOM for parent assembly AImage Modified

Note
Note that the icon for the inline Sub-assembly B is highlighted and its BOM line items are not displayed because the BOM is unpublished.

BOM lock down

In FactoryLogix a published BOM is locked down when the first process associated with the assembly revision is in Released to Production status. (Without modification, this behavior would allow the BOM of an inline or phantom sub-assembly to be modified after the parent assembly’s BOM was locked down. For a conventional sub-assembly, this is not an issue, but for an inline or phantom sub-assembly this is an issue because a change to an inline or phantom sub-assembly BOM would affect the flattened BOM of the parent assembly.)
