Dear Abdul

From sales point of view, You can sell your products to OE customers directly from plant whereas from depot it is not possible. You can sell only to retail customers. For me this is a basic difference.

With regard to configuration, it varies from company to company and in fact, for plant sales itself, this will vary from company to company depending upon their process.

Hi !

With regards to your query, as per the business requirements of a company a company can have depots and plants for retail sales , and sales directly to customers from manufacturing plants.

For this there can be different codes for depots locations and plants and different storage locations respectively.

Also pricing may vary both for raw materials and FG, since manufacturing might be carried out under a contract agreement,scheduling agreement etc and retail sales may be at standard market rates.

Thus the pricing procedures would vary.

The norms for customer account groups and credit exposure would also vary.

Plz reward points if helpful.

Rgds,
