The system also generates the background job PROFILE when you delete a profile. The job is started automatically in the evening. It cancels the profile in every material master record with that profile assigned to it; that is, the profile assignment disappears, but the values themselves remain stored in the material master record.
If errors occur while the job is being run, they are recorded in a log. The next day, you can check the log to see which material master records were affected by these errors, and then edit them manually.
This is how you delete a profile in the material master:
The initial Delete Profile screen appears.
A pop-up window appears.
You now return to the initial screen and can continue.
