Hi

You can Merge all the 5 Plants to one. But you may need to analyz Data Migration Point of view and Finanncial Impacts.

Since the company code is one You may have less impacts financially But you have to consult with FICO guys before you make any decision.

In my experience I have done the Plant merging in a similar situation But main focus should be on migration

- List down the objects you need to migrate

For each object you need to make sure what is the requirement in your new plant. For example if you take Material Master you can extract all the data from Tables for all the five plants and give it to the Business people to come out with their final requirment than you can narrow down what are all the materials you can extend from which plant.

- Finalize the scope of Migration

- Develop programs for Download and Upload

It requires lot of efforts to study the existing situation and the requirment for New plant.

Hope it helps

Hi,

When system is designed with MM organization structure with 5 plants, one company code & few purchase organizations, then itu2019s difficult to merge all into single plant with one purchase organization.

You can work out with following options:

Discussed with FICO guy and finalize on what to do on assignment part

Keep same company code (one)

Create new plant & then transfer all master data (LSMW for material MMZ1) .

Create new purchase organization & then transfer all master data (LSMW for vendor, Info record etc)

Now transfer all transaction data from 5plants to new plant
