What is a Selection Profile?  

In a selection profile, you can define status combinations of user status and system status as selection criteria.

Selection profiles are used for selection in the order information system.

You can enter the system status as well as user status in a selection profile. If you also want to select according to user status, you must enter the corresponding status profile when creating the selection profile. You cannot assign a status profile to a selection profile at a later time.
