Symptoms

When having a purchased item with an already existing BOM / Item Routing defined in a different B/P, the users are not able to change the stocking type of that purchased item from P to "0 - zero = Phantom". The business requirement would be change the purchased item into a phantom item (Stk Ty = 0) but the system triggers the error ID 000T - "Stocking Type Invalid".

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. P4101 / P41026 - Create a purchased component (Stk Ty = P. Ln Ty = S) and add it to 2 different B/Ps
2. P3003 - Define a routing for the purchased component in B/P 'A'
3. P41026 - Change the stocking type of the purchased component in B/P 'B' from 'P' to '0 -zero = Phantom'.
   The system triggers the error ID 000T - 'Stocking Type Invalid':
   
   Stocking Type Invalid:
   An error has occurred, but it cannot be corrected from this form. Please correct any other errors and then contact your System Administrator regarding this error.
   CAUSE: The stocking type in the Item Balance file (F4102) is a '0' indicating a phantom. Phantoms can not have routes.
   RESOLUTION: Either change the Stocking Type in the Item Balance file or change the item to one that is not a phantom.
