Creating lower level BOM 'phantom' items

Currently, all parts in our system are either classed as M(Make) or P(Purchased)Can we create another part class which would be a phantom item i.e. would exist as a reference only have had no impact on MRP/Planning/Scheduling/BOM Cost Rollups?   We need this in situations where for example we purchase a range of machined castings - a common lower level casting but then machined to create a number of variants which we purchase.  We have tried adding the lower level cast item ( classed as P )  as a sub-part of the purchased machined part also this is not ideal as (a) we have to remember that it's not actually a purchased item and (b) our BOM cost rollup process stops working correctly - it excludes the standard cost of the purchased machined item entirely. What we need is to be able to include the lower level -  but as a ‘phantom’ non-purchased item which does not stop the cost rollup process working and creates no demand within MRP etc.  Appreciate any suggestions!
