  An issuing plant is a type of plant in SAP Inventory Management (MM-IM) that is responsible for issuing goods to customers. It is the source of goods for a customer and is used to track the inventory levels of the goods being issued.

  The issuing plant is set up in the SAP system by assigning it to a customer in the customer master record.
