Organizational Structures in SAP R/3 Materials Management (MM)
A plant is where stocks of a material are kept. A storage location is, as the name says, a storage area for the stock in a plant. One or more plants are assigned to a company code, and one or more storage locations are assigned to a plant.
Shipping points are defined in the SD organizational master data setup. They are the top level of the organization in shipping. Deliveries are always initiated from exactly one shipping point. A shipping point is assigned one or more plants and can be subdivided into several loading points.
A loading point is a voluntary entry. It is merely a subdivision of a shipping point. A loading point is manually entered into the header data of the delivery.
