Profile options are common to all our tools. To find the profile options applicable for the Bill of Materials Wizard, navigate to System Profile in EBS and enter More%BMW% (as shown in the screenshot below) and select the ‘Find’ button.
The profile option applicable for this Wizard will show on the ‘System Profile Values’ form as shown below.
Many profile options can be set at the Site, Application, Responsibility or User level. Modify your search in the ‘Find System Profile Options’ form to set options at the appropriate level.
The More4apps Profile Options are installed on your instance when you login (from the Wizard) for the first time.
If a profile option is not available, you will need to re install your profile options. To do this, refer to the Reinstall Profile Options available in the Common User Topics documentation.
