  Key Concepts: 
  A plant group is a feature of the IS-R SAP for Retail system that allows users to group plants together for easier management. Plants are the physical locations where goods are produced, stored, and sold. Plant groups allow users to assign plants to a specific group, making it easier to manage multiple plants at once. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a plant group, users must first define the plants that will be included in the group. This can be done by entering the plant number and name into the system. Once the plants have been defined, users can assign them to a plant group by selecting the appropriate option from the menu. The plant group can then be used to manage multiple plants at once. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a plant group, it is important to ensure that all of the plants included in the group are related in some way. For example, if a user is managing multiple retail stores, they should create a plant group for each store rather than grouping all of the stores together in one plant group.
