Plant/Site Groups are used in many scenarios such as Retail Pricing, Replenishment etc.
We can group sites using transaction CL24N (Class type: 030).
When sites in certain regions/countries are grouped, they can be processed together using a single variant. When more sites are added, we only need to update this site group and this get reflected in all the jobs that use the site group. This is also very useful in reporting point of view (Eg: RWBE).
We use Site groups (group of sites) for lot of activities, mainly during Promotion and Merchandise Distribution process.
When we create Promotion, we maintain site group, so that
we defining what are the stores promotion is going to takes place and based
on the Allocation Rule/Strategy we distribute articles to various sites.
Transaction Codes:
WB50 - Create Site Group Choose 030 Site Grouping
