Client>Company Code>Plant>Storage Location
A client is often synonymous with a corporate group, while a company code represents an independent accounting unit. Company codes are legally independent from one another.
The plant plays a central role in logistics. A plant is a production facility or a location that handles material stock. It could also be a collection of several locations in one general vicinity with material stock, which are known as storage locations. Stock is managed at the level of the storage location.
A plant is assigned to ONLY one company code.
Warehouse Number: the entire warehouse structure is managed under one warehouse number. This number represents the warehouse complex.
Storage Type: the different warehouse areas, which differ with respect to their organizational and technical features, are defined as storage types.
Storage Section(进仓区域) and picking area(出仓区域): Below the storage type level, the picking area groups together storage bins from a picking point of view.
Staging Area: 临时区域, is a part of the warehouse where goods are stored immediately after unloading or shortly before loading.
A shipping point is an independent organizational unit at a fixed location that processes and monitors outbound deliveries and goods issue.
Several shipping points can be assigned to one plant with different loading equipment, different processing times, and shipping conditions.
Loading point is used to structure shipping. Any number of loading points can be assigned to a shipping point, but only one shipping point can be assigned to a loading point.
The organizational unit between warehouse management and Inventory Management is connected by the assignment of warehouse number and the plant/storage location combination.
Several plant storage location combinations can be assigned to one warehouse number.
