Hi
This is one of the important assignment(in terms of functionality) as far as SD is concerned. The plant assigned here is called as the 'Delivering Plant'. We cannot deliver goods from a plant which is not configured as Delivering Plant. System will not allow us to create the sales order also if the plant in the sales order is not defined as a delivering plant.
Thanks,

Hi,
Plants is assigned to sales org and distribution channel because.
1. The plant from which the material is moving out to sales organization and distribution channel.
say example if i have stock of 100 material. I delivered 50 quantity to a customer through a distribution channel and sales organization .
For documentation purpose it is used.
2. to specify the delivering plant to the distribution channel.
thanks

Hi
The combination of sales org and distribution channel is termed as DISTRIBUTION CHAIN in SAP
The plant is assigned as delivering plant for this distribution chain for processing sales activities
This distribution chain assignment eanables us to do intercompany sales also so that a plant belonging to ompany code B is assigned as delivering plant for sales org A which is inturn assigned to company code A
The main purpose is it makes intercompany sales possible

Hi there,
Plants are assigned to a sales area meaning that customers from that particular SA can order goods from that plant. When you create an order, you specify under what sales area you log it. After you specify the customer & material in the line items, system does Plant determiantion. Then it will look if the plant proposed is assigned to the sales area. If yes, then it will copy into the order else it will throw an error that Plant is not extended to sales area 0000 / 00 / 00.
Same way you make assignment of 1 component in SAP to another.

During sale order creation, plant has to be entered for each line item for the purpose of material requirements planning. System will allow to enter only those plants which are assigned to the sales organization and distribution channel in which the sale order is being created. For this purpose the plant has to be assigned to combination of sales organization and distribution channel in IMG.
