OX10 - %reate ) %hange ) Vie( Plants
OVXB - %reate ) %hange ) Vie( Diision
OX18 - Assign Plant to com$any code
e.g. 0001 - 0001 - All Plants
P*1 - Plant P*1
P*+ - Plant P*+
OX19 - Assignment of com$any code to the %ontrolling Area
OB38 - Assign com$any code to %redit %ontrol Area
OMJ7 - Assign ,usiness area to Plant)Valuation area and diision
e.g. Plant P*1 - -usiness Area -*1
-*+
Assign Valuation area to the -usiness Area
.e.g. Valuation area V*1 - -usiness Area -*1
-usiness Area -*+
OMS0 - Assign .actory %alendar to the Plant and -usiness Area
The $lant $lays an im$ortant role in the follo(ing areas/
#aterial Valuation - 'f the aluation leel is the $lant! the material stocks are
aluated at $lant leel. 0ach $lant can hae its o(n material $rices and account

Plant #aintenance - 'f a $lant $erforms $lant maintenance $lanning tasks! it is

carry out $lanning tasks for other $lants (maintenance $lants".
'f you (ant to use the a$$lication PP ($roduction $lanning" or $roduct costing and 3o,-

'f material stocks are aluated at com$any code leel! all $lant stocks of a material are
managed in a 3oint stock account for each com$any code.
'f material stocks are aluated at $lant leel! you can manage the material stocks for each
