You use the repetitive manufacturing profile to control how you want to carry out planning and backflushing in repetitive manufacturing.

The repetitive manufacturing profile is a mandatory prerequisite for repetitive manufacturing. Using the control paramters, you define the following, for example:

• Whether you want to backflush activities.
• Whether you want to work with reporting points in make-to-stock REM.
• How you want to process errors which occur when backflushing.

You create the repetitive manufacturing profile in Customizing for Repetitive Manufacturing and assign it to a material in the MRP data of the material master record.
