MRP:Plan Revenue Price List
Specifies the sales order price list that is applied to items in a plan. This value is used to calculate the plan margin key performance indicators for Business Intelligence reports.
MRP:Planning Manager Batch Size
Indicates the batch size for the number of rows in a set that the planning manager processes. You use this profile option during a forecast and master schedule load to determine the number of rows to process in batch. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP also uses this profile option during forecast consumption and master schedule relief to determine the number of items to process. A larger batch size is more efficient, because a process needs to make fewer database hits. For example, if there are 1000 rows or items to process, and you have set the profile to 100, the process needs to access the database 10 times to retrieve information on all 1000 rows or items. Setting the profile to 200 means that the process needs to access the database only 5 times. A smaller batch size means that the work may be divided across more workers. Using the example above, a value of 100 means that the Planning Manager could divide the work across 10 processes, while a value of 200 means that only 5 processes could operate simultaneously.
MRP:Planning Manager Max Workers

If there are many rows processing, the planning manager continues to spawn more workers, until all rows have been processed, or the number of Planning Manager Workers running or pending matches or exceeds the value of MRP:Planning Manager Workers.
A larger value for this profile means that the Planning Manager can use more workers to process tasks. However, a larger value could also mean that the concurrent manager queue becomes filled with workers, and other processes do not run. In general, do not define a value that exceeds the maximum number of concurrent programs that can run simultaneously. This profile has a predefined value of 10 upon installation.
MRP:Purchasing by Revision
Indicates whether to pass on item revision to the purchase requisition.
MRP:Purge Batch Size
Indicates the batch size for the number of rows that the planning purge process deletes between commits. The larger the number, the faster the purge processes performs. The lower the number, the smaller the rollback segments required. This profile has a predefined value of 25000 upon installation.

The default value is Background.
Note: When this profile option is set to Background, you must start the Workflow Background Engine, which you access
through the System Administrator responsibility. It is recommended that you set this process to run frequently, if you
are using it for Background mode approvals.
PO: Write Server Output to File
Yes or No indicates whether log details are written to a flat file rather than to the standard concurrent manager details log viewable through the View Log button in the Submit Request window when running the Purchasing Documents Open Interface program. Yes means log details are written to a flat file. No means log details are written to the concurrent manager log screen, which can cause overflow problems for large catalogs. Leaving this profile option blank means log details are not written at all, which improves performance. You need to consider a value for this profile option only when debugging a price/sales catalog submission from your supplier through the Purchasing Documents Open Interface.
RCV: Allow routing override
Yes or No indicates whether the destination type assigned during requisition or purchase order entry can be overridden at receipt time.
RCV: Debug Mode
If set to Yes, and RCV: Processing Mode set to Immediate or Batch, debug messages will be printed to the concurrent log file.
RCV: Default Include Closed PO Option
If it is set to Yes, a search in the Enter Receipts window and the Receiving Transactions window automatically select the Include Closed POs checkbox. Your search results will then include closed orders. The Receiving Open Interface (including ASN) will allow a receipt against orders with the status of Closed for Receiving if this profile is set to Yes. Any setting other than Yes prevents receiving against orders using the Receiving Open Interface with the status of Closed for Receiving.
RCV: Fail All ASN Lines if One Line Fails
If you choose Yes, you can reject an entire Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) if any ASN line fails validation or processing. If you choose No, then you can accept an ASN if at least one ASN line is successful.
RCV: Print Receipt Traveler
Yes or No indicates whether Purchasing automatically prints the receipt traveler when you perform a receipt or a receiving transaction, and when you match unordered receipts. You can always print receipt travelers from the Submit Requests window.
RCV: Processing Mode
Indicates the processing mode used after you save your work for receiving transactions: The transaction goes to the interface table, where it will be picked up the next time the Receiving Transaction Processor runs. The transaction goes to the interface table, and the Receiving Transaction Processor is called for the group of transactions that you entered since you
last saved your work. The Receiving Transaction Processor is called directly.
These are some of the profile option values from the core modules.
