  Starting group is a feature of the MFG-PCO Plant Connectivity component of SAP. It is used to define a set of plants that are connected to each other and can be used to share data and resources. The starting group is the first group of plants that are connected and can be used as a reference point for other plants that are added later.

  To use the starting group feature, you must first define the plants that will be part of the starting group. This can be done by selecting the plants from a list or by entering their names manually. Once the plants have been selected, they can be connected to each other using the MFG-PCO Plant Connectivity component. Once connected, data and resources can be shared between the plants in the starting group.
