MRP:Plan Revenue Price ListSpecifies the sales order price list that is applied to items in a plan. This value is used to calculate the plan margin key performance indicators for Business Intelligence reports.

MRP:Planning Manager Batch Size
Indicates the batch size for the number of rows in a set that the planning manager processes. You use this profile option during a forecast and master schedule load to determine the number of rows to process in batch. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP also uses this profile option during forecast consumption and master schedule relief to determine the number of items to process. A larger batch size is more efficient, because a process needs to make fewer database hits. For example, if there are 1000 rows or items to process, and you have set the profile to 100, the process needs to access the database 10 times to retrieve information on all 1000 rows or items. Setting the profile to 200 means that the process needs to access the database only 5 times. A smaller batch size means that the work may be divided across more workers. Using the example above, a value of 100 means that the Planning Manager could divide the work across 10 processes, while a value of 200 means that only 5 processes could operate simultaneously.

MRP:Planning Manager Max WorkersIndicates the maximum number of workers to be launched by the planning manager. If there are many rows processing, the planning manager continues to spawn more workers, until all rows have been processed, or the number of Planning Manager Workers running or pending matches or exceeds the value of MRP:Planning Manager Workers.
A larger value for this profile means that the Planning Manager can use more workers to process tasks. However, a larger value could also mean that the concurrent manager queue becomes filled with workers, and other processes do not run. In general, do not define a value that exceeds the maximum number of concurrent programs that can run simultaneously. This profile has a predefined value of 10 upon installation.

MRP:Purchasing by Revision
Indicates whether to pass on item revision to the purchase requisition.

MRP:Purge Batch SizeIndicates the batch size for the number of rows that the planning purge process deletes between commits. The larger the number, the faster the purge processes performs. The lower the number, the smaller the rollback segments required. This profile has a predefined value of 25000 upon installation.

MRP:Requisition Load Group Option
Indicates the group by option used when loading requisitions using the Planner Workbench form. Available values are listed below: Create one purchase requisition for all recommended orders. Create one purchase requisition for buyer. Within each requisition, create one line for each planned order for the buyer. Create one purchase requisition for each category of items. Within each requisition, create one line for each planned order for the category. Create one purchase requisition for each inventory item. Within each requisition, create one line for each planned order for the item.

Indicates the number of minutes to pause execution of the Snapshot process while waiting to acquire locks on tables.
This profile has a predefined value of 5 upon installation.

MRP:Snapshot WorkersIndicates the number of workers that are launched during the execution of the Snapshot process. A larger value means that more tasks are performed in parallel. Too many workers, however, can result in system degradation and diminishing performance benefits. In general, do not define a value for this profile that exceeds the maximum number of concurrent programs that can run simultaneously. This profile has a predefined value of 5 upon installation.

MRP:Sourcing Rule Category Set
Indicates the category set used when Oracle Supply Chain Planning or Oracle Purchasing creates sourcing assignments at category–org or category level.

MRP:Time Fence WarningIndicates whether to receive a warning if you modify a master production schedule within the planning time fence or master demand schedule within the demand time fence. Available values are listed below:
One each Planner Supplier
Receive a warning modify a master production schedule within the planning time fence or master demand schedule within the demand time fence. Do not receive a warning if you modify a master schedule within the planning or demand time fence. This profile has a predefined value of Yes upon installation.

MRP:Trace Mode
Indicates whether to enable the trace option within Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning. Available values are listed below:
Enable the trace option within Oracle Master
Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning.
Do not enable the trace option within Oracle
Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning.
This profile has a predefined value of No upon installation.

MRP:Use Direct Load OptionEnables the Loader Worker to use the direct load option instead of conventional loads. This profile has a predefined value of No upon installation. You can update this profile at all levels.

MRP:Use Ship Arrived Flag
Indicates how to treat sales orders shipped to customers. You can automatically treat sales orders as “arrived” at a customer site after the intransit lead time has expired, or you can manually update the ARRIVED_FLAG in SO_PICKING_HEADERS. This profile is used by the Memory–based Planning Engine when a customer is modelled as an organization. This profile has a predefined value of No upon installation. Available values are listed below:
Use arrived flag in SO_PICKING_HEADERS.
Use intransit time between source and the destination organizations.

PO: Archive Catalog on Approval
Yes or No indicates whether Purchasing archives blanket purchase agreements in a price/sales catalog submission upon approval. You need to consider this profile option only if you receive price/sales catalog submissions from your suppliers through the Purchasing Documents Open Interface. This profile option comes into effect only if Archive on Approval is chosen in the Document Types window in Purchasing and you import the documents with a status of Approved; if you then choose No for this profile option, Purchasing does not archive the price/sales catalog agreements.
Note: If a document update is pending review in the Exceeded Price Tolerances window, the revision of that document is not
updated until you accept all line updates.

PO: AutoCreate GL Date OptionIndicates the date used on purchase orders generated by AutoCreate: The autocreate date is used as the purchase order
date.The GL date on the requisition distribution is used as the purchase order date.

PO: Automatic Document Sourcing
Yes means that Oracle Purchasing automatically defaults source document and pricing information for an item from the most recently created purchase agreement or quotation. No means that this source document information comes from the Approved Supplier List window, where you must specify which source documents to use. Note that if an item on a requisition is associated with both a blanket purchase agreement and a quotation, Oracle Purchasing may use the blanket purchase agreement even if the quotation was created more recently (depending on your sourcing settings).

(The profile option RCV: Processing Mode must also be set to Immediate or Batch for the Yes option to work.) Yes also generates a database trace file; if you need help with an error that occurs while the
Receiving Transaction Processor runs, Oracle Support Services may ask you for this trace file. This profile option should be set to Yes only while debugging the Receiving Open Interface or for generating a trace file. The Receiving Open Interface validates receipt transactions from other systems and uses the Receiving Transaction Processor to import the validated data into Purchasing.

PO: ERS Aging Period
The value in this profile option indicates the number of days between the receipt date and the Payment on Receipt automatic invoice creation date. For example, a value of 2 means that Payment on Receipt creates invoices only for receipts that are 2 or more days old. Any corrections or returns you make against a receipt during that 2–day period are included on the Payment on Receipt invoice.

PO: Use Document GL date to UnreserveYes or No indicates whether the GL date of the document is used for encumbrance reversal actions that do not support entry of a GL date (Reject/Return) and as a default for actions that do allow entry of a date (Cancel/Final Close/Unreserve).

PO: Use Need–by Date for Default Autocreate groupingYes indicates that the need–by date on the requisition is included with the defaults to group requisition lines.

PO: Use P–Cards in Purchasing
Set this profile option to Yes if you use procurement card—also known as P–Card or corporate credit card—numbers on requisitions in iProcurement. Set this profile option to Yes to display the procurement card number in the Purchase Orders, Releases, and Purchase Order Headers summary windows. Set this profile option to No if you do not have iProcurement installed or do not want to display the procurement card field to buyers. Purchasing windows can physically display the procurement card field even if iProcurement is not installed and procurement cards aren’t used. Therefore, set this profile option to No if you are not using procurement cards.

PO: Use Requisition Line Numbers on Autocreated Purchase Order LinesYes indicates that the requisition line numbers are used on autocreated purchase order lines. Note that this only applies when creating a new purchase order.

PO: Use Ship–to for Default Autocreate grouping
Yes indicates that the ship–to organization and location on the requisition is included with the defaults to group requisition lines.

PO: VMI EnabledOracle Vendor Managed Inventory: Yes or No indicates whether Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is enabled in Oracle Purchasing.

PO: Warn if RFQ Required before AutoCreateYes or No indicates whether you are given a warning message and an opportunity to cancel autocreate if one or more of the requisition lines selected for inclusion requires an RFQ and has not been placed on an RFQ. If you use the PO Create Documents workflow to create purchase orders automatically from approved requisition lines, note that setting this
profile option to Yes can affect the workflow. If it is set to Yes and the requisition line is not on an RFQ (but RFQ Required is checked for the requisition line), the workflow stops automatic document creation because it is unable to issue the warning. (The requisition line will still be available in the AutoCreate Documents window.) Even if an RFQ is required for the requisition line, as long as this profile option is set to No, the workflow will continue creating the document.

PO: Workflow Processing Mode
Affects the performance of the Purchasing approval workflow processes:

Online :-Completes an entire approval workflow process before letting you proceed to the next activity, but provides you with an updated Status (for purchase orders) as soon as it finishes.
Background : Enables you to proceed to the next activity while the approval process completes in the background.
Whichever option you choose, you can always view the current status of a requisition or purchase order through the Requisitions Summary or Purchase Orders Summary windows.
The default value is Background.
Note: When this profile option is set to Background, you must start the Workflow Background Engine, which you access
through the System Administrator responsibility. It is recommended that you set this process to run frequently, if you
are using it for Background mode approvals.

PO: Write Server Output to File
Yes or No indicates whether log details are written to a flat file rather than to the standard concurrent manager details log viewable through the View Log button in the Submit Request window when running the Purchasing Documents Open Interface program. Yes means log details are written to a flat file. No means log details are written to the concurrent manager log screen, which can cause overflow problems for large catalogs. Leaving this profile option blank means log details are not written at all, which improves performance. You need to consider a value for this profile option only when debugging a price/sales catalog submission from your supplier through the Purchasing Documents Open Interface.

RCV: Allow routing overrideYes or No indicates whether the destination type assigned during requisition or purchase order entry can be overridden at receipt time.

RCV: Debug Mode
If set to Yes, and RCV: Processing Mode set to Immediate or Batch, debug messages will be printed to the concurrent log file.

RCV: Default Include Closed PO OptionIf it is set to Yes, a search in the Enter Receipts window and the Receiving Transactions window automatically select the Include Closed POs checkbox. Your search results will then include closed orders. The Receiving Open Interface (including ASN) will allow a receipt against orders with the status of Closed for Receiving if this profile is set to Yes. Any setting other than Yes prevents receiving against orders using the Receiving Open Interface with the status of Closed for Receiving.

RCV: Fail All ASN Lines if One Line Fails
If you choose Yes, you can reject an entire Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) if any ASN line fails validation or processing. If you choose No, then you can accept an ASN if at least one ASN line is successful.

RCV: Print Receipt TravelerYes or No indicates whether Purchasing automatically prints the receipt traveler when you perform a receipt or a receiving transaction, and when you match unordered receipts. You can always print receipt travelers from the Submit Requests window.

RCV: Processing Mode
Indicates the processing mode used after you save your work for receiving transactions: The transaction goes to the interface table, where it will be picked up the next time the Receiving Transaction Processor runs. The transaction goes to the interface table, and the Receiving Transaction Processor is called for the group of transactions that you entered since you
last saved your work. The Receiving Transaction Processor is called directly.

These are some of the profile option values from the core modules.
