  Key Concepts: 
  Active Configuration is a feature of SAP Master Data Services (EIM-MDS) that allows users to create and manage multiple versions of master data. It enables users to store different versions of master data in a single repository, allowing them to easily switch between versions and compare them. This helps users to keep track of changes and ensure data accuracy. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Active Configuration, users must first create a configuration profile. This profile contains the settings for the versioning of master data, such as the version name, description, and start date. Once the profile is created, users can then create multiple versions of master data within the profile. Each version can be edited and compared with other versions. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a configuration profile, it is important to give it a descriptive name that will help users identify it easily. Additionally, it is important to set the start date for each version so that users can easily identify which version is the most up-to-date.
