Dear Avinash,

The relationship is many to many.

But in a practical point of view we will not assign a shipping point to more than 1 plant , unless the plants can access the shipping point equally.

For example, there is no point in assigning a shipping point in mumbai to a plant in chennai , if there is shipping points available in chennai plant.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Hegal . K . Charles,

it is correct, as we discussed above it may be MANY to MANY .

Suppose, we hv 2 plant 1 in delhi and 2nd in nagpur. and this company want to export via inland water ways, in this case we can assign mumbai port to delhi and nagpur plant as well.

as you said it is correct, It is just not to overload the master data maintenance

Ex- In case of Sales Org. Its is always advisable to keep it minimum to per company code. Because master data records are multiplied by each additional org. element.
