Define Material-Specific Overall Profile

In this IMG activity, you define material-specific overall profiles for batch record processing in your plant. In an overall profile, you specify the following:

• The contents and layout of batch records by assigning a document profile

• The type of deviation analysis processing together with the point in time and scope by assigning deviation profiles

• If required, a status profile with user statuses to add to the system statuses

• Thesignature strategy to be used if the batch records must be approved by more than one person

• The point of time for batch record archiving

• The availability period

If you do not define an overall profile for a material, the system processes your batch records as follows:

• It takes all document types into account except for user-defined data. It uses the standard forms and programs to prepare the documents for output.

• You can start deviation analyses only manually. The maximum scope defined in the standard system is used together with the standard form and program.

• Only one signature is required to approve the batch record.

• You must archive batch records before they can be approved.

Batch records are also processed in this way by default if you do not make an entry for some of the values in an overall profile.

Requirements

• Define Document Profiles

• Define Deviation Profiles

• Define Status Selection Profiles

• Define Signature Strategies

• The master records of the materials for which you want to archive batch records have been created in the system.
