Business Term Definition
A Plant is a site where the company operates. It can be an internal production site, a site operated by a toller, a storage site, or even a pure administrative site. It is used to locate costs and production lines, and to determine the industrial origin of the material batches. The recommended SAP rule is "1 plant = 1 legal entity x 1 address". Every plant must contain certain mandatory sub-elements for the Financial consolidation and the operations. For the Finance, at minimum 1 cost center and links to consolidation structures. For the Supply Chain operations, at minimum 1 warehouse (storage location) and 1 shipping point (used to organize the deliveries and the logistics). For the industrial operations, when relevant, at minimum 1 work center, 1 profit center.
