Result

When you change fixed values in a profile, the system updates the profile and also automatically creates the background job PROFILE to update all material master records to which this profile is assigned; that is, the changes to the fixed values are copied to the relevant material master records. A change document is created automatically for all materials where such changes are made. For more information on this background job, see the documentation for program RMMM0001.
