SAP Online Training : Plant and Storage Location
The plant is a location where material stock (Inventory) is kept. In the SAP R/3 System, a plant can, for example, represent a production facility or simply a grouping of locations (storage locations) in physical proximity.
Plant and storage location are organizational units that can be used by all logistic areas of the SAP R/3 System.
Storage Location is an organizational unit allowing differentiation between the various stocks of a material in a plant. The storage location corresponds to the sublocation in the SAP Advance Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO)
Materials management (SAP MM) is primarily concerned with the material flow. From a materials management point of view, a plant is, above all, a location where material stock is kept.
• In production, a plant can represent a manufacturing facility.
• In sales and distribution (SAP SD), a plant represents the location from which materials and services are distributed and corresponds to a distribution center. The relevant stocks are kept here.
If you sell a service, a plant in SAP system can represent the location services are rendered from (that is, an office).
In SAP sales and distribution, the plant has a central function:
• You have to create at least one plant in order to be able to use the Sales and Distribution module.
• A plant must be uniquely assigned to a company code.
• The assignment between sales organizations and plants does not have to be unique.
• The plant is essential for determining the shipping point.
