Implementing Manufacturing and Materials Management: From Empty Plant to Costed Work Order · Module 4 · Inventory Organizations and Plants
Enabling manufacturing on a plant
Lesson 38 of 188 · 9 min
Set the additional usage on Plant A to include manufacturing and show the manufacturing-specific parameters that appear. Repeat for Plant B, then show the warehouse organization deliberately left without manufacturing, and open a manufacturing work area to show only the two plants available. A manufacturing plant is an inventory organization with manufacturing enabled. That exact sentence resolves most of the confusion about the two terms, and it is the same sentence from the object model lesson — repetition is the point in a flagship module. Enabling manufacturing later is possible; plan it deliberately rather than discovering it. The warehouse being excluded is the point. The demonstration is the lesson, not a formality.
