In the Material Master menu, choose  Profile MRP profile or Forecast profile Create .

The initial screen appears.

Enter the name you want to give the profile.

If you want to use an existing profile as a reference, enter its name under Copy from so that the system can copy its values to the new profile.

Choose Selection screen .

The selection screen appears. It shows all the fields that can be copied to the MRP or Forecasting screen in the material master record.

Enter a profile description and select the fields you want the profile to contain, specifying whether each field is to be copied to the material master record as a fixed value or as a default value.

It is not possible to select Fixed lot size and Maximum stock level in a single MRP profile. However, if you select Maximum stock level , you must also select Lot size (materials planning) .

Choose Data screen .

( )

MRP profile data is spread over two screens. To switch from one screen to the other, choose Data screen 1 or Data screen 2 .

When you access the data screen from the selection screen, the system checks whether the fields selected are allowed to appear in the same profile.

The data screen appears, containing only the fields you selected on the selection screen. The fixed values and default values are displayed in different colors. All fixed values are required fields except where the field can also be left blank.

If, in the forecast profile, you enter N or 0 as the forecast model, no forecast is made.

Like forecast model N, if you enter forecast model 0 when maintaining a forecast profile, you will be unable to maintain any other field in the profile.

Unlike forecast model N, forecast model 0 deletes any existing forecast values when you change the material. This ensures that these values are no longer included in materials planning.

Enter the corresponding values and save the profile.
