Which statements about the organizational assignment of plants are true?

1. A plant can be assigned to multiple company codes

2. Several plants can be assigned to one company code

3. Each plant can be assigned to just one company code

4. A plant must be assigned to one combination of sales organization and distribution channel

The correct answer is: A plant can be assigned to multiple company codes

The correct statement regarding the organizational assignment of plants is that several plants can be assigned to one company code. This is a fundamental aspect of the SAP system's organizational structure where multiple plants, which may be geographically or functionally distinct, can operate under a single company code. This allows for centralized financial reporting and control while still maintaining operational autonomy at the plant level. The assignment of a plant to a company code reflects how financial transactions are structured within an organization, ensuring that all activities and costs associated with goods produced or maintained in these plants can be accurately accounted for within the overarching financial framework of the company. While the option indicates that a plant can be assigned to multiple company codes, this is not true in standard SAP configurations; a plant is generally aligned with only one company code to maintain clear financial accountability. Each plant must also be associated with a unique combination of sales organization and distribution channel to ensure that sales and distribution processes are well-managed within SAP.
