Plants and Storage Locations in the Enterprise Structure
The enterprise structure is created by the assignment of organizational levels to each other. Therefore, a client may contain several company codes, and a company code may contain several plants. However, a plant can only ever belong to one company code.
Similarly, several storage locations may be assigned to a plant, but a specific storage location can only belong to one plant.
Shipping Points
A shipping point is an organizational unit that indicates a point from which goods are dispatched. Specifically, outbound deliveries and the associated goods issues are processed and monitored at a shipping point in the system. Each outbound delivery is processed at a single shipping point. The shipping point is included in the delivery and is passed on to it from the sales order or stock transport order.
A shipping point can also be defined as a goods receiving point, so that it can also be used for inbound deliveries. For the sake of simplicity, we refer only to "shipping points" in this lesson.
In the configuration of the enterprise structure, you define the combinations of shipping points and plants.
