One preferred plant and up to 4 alternative plants are used when plant determination is selected at the line-item level or a material on the Sales Order Entry level. Plant determination is based on the following set of variables:

1. Sales area defined by:
   

• Sales Organization
  

• Distribution Channel
  

• Division

1. Customer Indicators from the ship-to party:
   

• Country/Region
  

• Transportation Zone

1. One Material Indicator from the Material Master, either:
   

• Material
  
  or
  

• Material Group
  

Using plant determination, the system will read table OIDAP and determine the preferred plant for the line item material (or material group) based upon the ship-to party (country/region and transportation zone) in the current sales area. The storage location is also proposed if specified with the preferred plant.

When availability checking is enabled, the preferred plant (and storage location if specified) will be checked for sufficient quantity. If sufficient quantity is not available, then the alternative plants (and storage locations if specified) will be searched in sequence until availability is found in one of them.

In the case where none of the alternative plants has enough stock, the preferred plant (and storage location if specified) will be proposed with the standard availability control selection screen.

In order to use the plant determination functionality, it is necessary to select plant determination by setting the PD indicator in the sales order entry screen at the item level before (or at the same time as) entering the line item details.

If plant determination is set to 'active' in the configuration of the sales document type, the line item indicator will be set by default.

It is also necessary to define the relevant fields in the ship-to party Customer Master record (country/region and transportation zone) and to define the material group in the Material Master (if this to be used as the material indicator).

Please note that this functionality is accessible only via the IS-Oil Sales Order Entry Screen.

Note that storage location is optional and availability checking can be performed for the whole plant if desired. Remember that only a material or a material group can be used as the material indicator.

The plant determination indicator at the item level has higher priority than the one at the header level. In fact the latter only defaults the item-level indicators.

When availability checking is not enabled, the preferred plant (and storage location if specified) will always be used.
