LIVE FROM DTU 2008!
I am glad you found a method that works for you. If it is consistent, it can be learned and that is most important so others can maintain and support the database along with you.
Your point about phases is a good one and one of those issues that you just settle with.
Phases do three things,
...they allow specific labor rates to apply to products
...they enable you to look at and evaluate the labor effort required for stage of the project
...phases help you control the release of products in to the purchasing queue
These connectors you cite most likely do not add up to a significant amount of labor hours, and if they were ordered during the trim phase rather than the rack build phase (which likely occur at the same time) I cannot see any detrimental impact to that.
Therefors I say plug all your connectors into the Trim Phase for consistency.
Thanks for implementing our ideas and for sharing your experiences for others to learn from.
Best-
