• Key Concepts: 
  Deviation profiles are used in the Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) component of SAP to define the maximum allowable deviation from a planned production order. This allows for more accurate planning and scheduling of production orders, as well as better control over the production process.
  
  How to use it: 
  Deviation profiles are used to define the maximum allowable deviation from a planned production order. This is done by setting a percentage or absolute value for each parameter that can be deviated from the planned value. The deviation profile can then be assigned to a production order, and any deviations from the planned values will be monitored and reported.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up deviation profiles, it is important to consider the impact of any deviations on the overall production process. It is also important to ensure that the deviation profile is set up correctly, as incorrect settings can lead to inaccurate results.
