Publishing Process Plans
Process plans created in the Process Plan Browser can be published to ERP and MES systems, such as SAP or Oracle Manufacturing. Process plans are published to a distribution target that has been associated with the process plan, and to the plant defined within that distribution target.
Process plans can be published:
When a pre-defined lifecycle state has been reached.
When a related change notice has been published.
Manually by a user, using the Send to Distribution Target action.
* 
Process plans are published as routing objects in both SAP and Oracle Manufacturing.
You can publish the expressions on the process plans. For more information, see About Publishing Associated Assigned Expressions.
