David, I've consider phantoms, and admittedly, I don't fully understand them, but they seem to be opposite what we want (i.e. top level is the phantom, and children are "real"). Also, we have used text items, and they work for production purposes, but now we are also needing the same information on Purchase Orders, as these components are moved from plant to plant.

Subject: Sub-components, for lack of a better term

Looking for a way to manage this scenario in SAP. Any help is appreciated.
We receive a component from a vendor. We assign it a material #, stock it, and order and issue it to production orders as normal. Now, this particular component is actually made up of 5 pieces. Is there a way to setup this up in SAP so when the component is selected in a BOM or a Purchase Order in pulls in the list of pieces for reference purposes only? We do not want to inventory or costs those pieces individually.
