I believe it is standard SAP NOT to issue bulk materials to orders. This is fairly common for low cost materials. Without a goods movement to record the issue, you have no record that allows costing. If you want the cost of this material to appear on your orders, then you might consider using backflush functionality. You can identify the material as backflush on the material master (MRP2 view) or on the BOM or on the routing. When the operation to which the material is assigned is confirmed, then the goods movements for the issue is performed automatically (inventory folks don't need to be involved).
There are risks associated with backflushing materials. Also, depending on how you want to physically manage these materials, there may be a lot of extra setup of your master data.
This is a pretty good starting point for learning backflush:

If you just Google 'SAP backflush' you'll find much more.
Good luck,

Subject: Bulk Material Consumption
Hi
I have declared few consumables as bulk material in material master. When a planned order is created , the material appears in the components list but when I do a SCN the material is not getting consumed. So its cost is not getting accounted in the product cost and I am forced to carry out manual consumption
I have two questions
1 Should I declare material as bulk in material master or in BOM?
2 If the material is declared as bulk, is it mandatory to consume it manually against each product
Please let me know how to account these bulk materials
