Dear Friends,

New plant creation and assignment of the plant with is done by MM consultant.

If MM consultant has copied plant from existing plant of same company code, SD enterprise structure configuration will be copied from that plant and you don't require to make the configuration for assignment of plant to Sales orgnization.

Once plant creation has been done, let your FI consultant to make his config ie business area assignment.

Then SD consultant start config.

1) Assignment of plant to Sales Area.

2) Define shipping point.

3) Assign shipping point to plant(if giving error check the assignment in T-Code OVL2 if shipping determination exist if plant copied ..remove assignement).

4) Shipping point determination by using T-code OVL2.

Hi

For plant you will need to do SPRO-->Enterprise structure->definitions and assignment.

1. Define plant, shipping pts, storage location, loading points.

2. Assignment between above;

3. Assingment of plant to company code and sales area.

Then there will be some material master and customer master extension to new plant, and need to extend some other functionalities which are plant specific.

Reward, if this helps.

Kind Regards

hello, friend.

normally, the MM or PP consultant defines the plant in IMG > Ent Structure > Definition > Logistics Gen > Define Plant....

the job of SD is, after the above, to assign the sales organization - distribution channel to the plant in IMG > Ent Structure > Assignment > SD > Assign sales org - dist chnl to plant.

after this, you have to discuss with your team if it is necessary to define a new shipping point. if yes, this will be defined in IMG > Ent Structure > Definition > Log Execution... and assigned in IMG > Ent Structure > Assignment > Log Execution.... you will also do shipping point determination in IMG > Shipping > Basic Shipping Funcs > Determine Shpg Pt and Goods Receiving Pt > Assign shipping points.

the MM consultant will also define a storage location for the new plant. you then make the storage location determination in IMG > Log Execution > Shipping > Picking > Determine Picking Location > Assign Picking Location.

hi,

adding a new plant would mean a huge addition to the existing enterprise structure. Its almost a rollout which you need to sit with all the other modules and decide whats required to be done.

from the Sd point of view, you need to decide

1)what are all the existing sales org + DC combinations that needs to be tied up to the new Plant.

2)Setup the required material masters in the new plant(sales views).

3)check with any specific settings required from the master data perspective.

4)Configure the shipping determinations.
