• Key Concepts: 
  Optimization profiles are used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) application. They are used to define the criteria for the optimization process, such as the desired production quantity, the desired delivery date, and the desired production cost. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Optimization profiles are created in the PPS component of SCM. The user can define the criteria for the optimization process, such as the desired production quantity, the desired delivery date, and the desired production cost. The user can also specify which resources should be used for optimization, such as machines, personnel, and materials. Once the optimization profile is created, it can be used to generate an optimized production plan. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an optimization profile, it is important to consider all of the criteria that will affect the optimization process. For example, if a certain resource is limited or expensive, it should be taken into account when creating the profile. Additionally, it is important to consider any constraints that may affect the optimization process, such as delivery deadlines or material availability.
