Plant / Distribution point
A plant in SAP is an organization unit to link purchases, material and equipment and usually has a physical address. It’s not the exact replication of a distribution point in Planon, but because this BO has similar options to linked properties, a delivery address and is available on the requisition line, it must be configured and used to send the plant external code to SAP. Recommended to create a specific user defined BO like Organizational unit to not confuse it with actual stock related distribution points. This object is not consumed, as there are usually only a few per company.
