A Plant Type refers to a warehouse, storage place, or a plant where a supplier manufactures or stores their goods. Any supplier who owns any of these also maintains documents related to the plant. Some examples of documents related to plant are invoices, final reports, budget documents, company balance sheets, and so on. A supplier must ensure plant related documents are valid and up to date.
Using DMS, you can organize and manage the documents and map the plant type to the supplier. Upon mapping the required documents are displayed to you.
