Procurement Management Plan as an output

In Video 93 of the PMP exam prep course,

says the Procurement Management Plan is an output. According to PMBOK, it is not. On p. 99 of PMBOK in the Plan Risk Responses box, Procurement Management Plan is shown as an output. Also, the only process where it is listed as an input is Acquire Resources, p. 83.

Am I misunderstanding something?

I dug further, in Section 8 Processes, Andrew provides a large zip file of documents related to processes. There is a folder in there called Identify Risk and Plan risk Response. This does not, however, contain the file 'Procurement_Management_Plan_BLANK' or 'Procurement_Management_Plan_FILLED'. Instead, that is found in the 'Plan Sourcing stratey (sic)' folder.

I think there has been a mix up?

In a similar manner, the same video says that an output is the Sourcing Strategy Plan, or Sourcing Strategy. Neither of these is included in the folder 'Plan Sourcing Strategy'. Instead that folder contains Procurement Management Plan (erroneously, as mentioned above), Procurement Strategy and Source Selection Criteria.

So it seems the files have not been named correctly. If so, this includes the title inside the document itself.
