SAP Plants Overview
SAP Plants OverviewAn SAP Plant is a manufacturing facility that is controlled through the SAP system (a resource application for Finances, Orders, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Inventory Planning, etc.).
ENOVIA only allows sending to SAP Plants that deal with BOMs.
Sellable parts have an ENOVIA Identity of:
Sellable Item
FRU
CRU
All Sellable Parts require at least one plant assignment to Release. These assignments determine where the part will be inventoried and/or manufactured.
