You want to speed up entry time of standard information thats required again and again. Business Process Description Overview A profile is a collection of information used to configure certain objects. In it, you can store standard information that you need repeatedly in almost identical combinations when maintaining different objects. Thus, a profile simplifies the entry and management of data. In the case of material master data, the objects are the material master records and the object data is the material requirements planning (MRP) data which you can enter in the MRP profile. Input - Required Fields

Field Value/Comments Key that you can use to store MRP parameters that are independent of the material master record. In an MRP profile, you define which fields are filled with values when MRP data is entered in the material master record, which values these fields have, and which of these values can be overwritten and which can not.

Output - Results
The MRP profiles were created.

Comments
MRP profile is a useful entry aid and makes it easier to manage MRP data.
