The asterisk simply means that a balloon is not attached to the part in any view ... the BOM doesn't care ... it is just a "heads up" notice for the user. You could actually use the asterisk as a quick indicator of which items are consumables.
As for the QTY/AR issue, some people create a custom property with the QTY unit (in the part) & add an extra UNITS column into the BOM.
Other places I've worked for only add the bulk consumables into their MRP/ERP system ... not the part/assy.
