• Key Concepts: 
  A navigation profile in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) is a set of user-defined settings that determine the way a user navigates through the system. It defines which menus, transactions, and functions are available to the user, as well as the order in which they are displayed. The navigation profile also determines which fields are visible in each transaction and which data is displayed in each field. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Navigation profiles can be created and modified by an administrator or a user with the appropriate authorization. To create a new navigation profile, go to the PP menu and select “Navigation Profile” from the drop-down list. Enter a name for the profile and select the desired settings. Once the profile is saved, it can be assigned to users or groups of users. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a navigation profile, it is important to consider the needs of the users who will be using it. For example, if a user only needs access to certain transactions or functions, it may be beneficial to limit their access by creating a custom navigation profile. This will help ensure that users only have access to what they need and nothing more.
