SAP PLANT
A plant can either be a place of production
or a single storage location, or a
combination of closely situated storage
locations where stock is kept.
Every plant is assigned to a company
code. This ensures that stocks and stock
values can be managed separately in
each company.

SAP INTEGRATION LINKS


The plants allowed for sales are
determined for each sales organization
according to the distribution channel, so
that a sales organization can sell goods
from several plants. A plant can be
assigned
to
different
sales
organizations. All of these sales
organizations can sell from that plant.
We can differentiate further between the
plants belonging to a sales organization
from the sales view using the
distribution channel. For certain plants
within
a
sales
organization,
the
distribution channel "sales from plant" is
allowed, but not for others.

SAP INTEGRATION LINKS


By assigning sales organizations
and plants we create a link
between company codes and
sales organizations. A plant,
though always linked to one
company
code,
can
be
assigned to different sales
organizations.
Within
a
company code several sales
organizations can be active.
Business transactions can also
be
carried
out
between
different company codes (for
example, during inter-company
sales processing).
