The Supply Chain Hub includes a set of configurable profile options that determine system behavior, UI availability, and integration with other Oracle applications. These profile options must be reviewed and set according to the organization's supply planning, release management, pricing, and performance requirements.
Important: After installation, many of these options may appear blank. This is expected, and administrators are advised to populate them explicitly based on intended usage scenarios and planning sources (ASCP or MRP).

- Review and set profile options explicitly based on your planning approach (MRP vs ASCP), user workflows, and UI preferences.
- Performance tuning: Disable KPI and tooltip options in large data environments if performance becomes a concern.
- Drilldown configurations: Adjust drilldown forms (e.g., Quick Sales Orders Form, Buyer Work Center) based on user roles and departmental preferences.
- Testing: Always validate profile option settings in a non-production environment before deploying to production.
- Unset (blank) values may result in default behaviors, but these are not always suitable for every deployment.
- Some profile options, such as those related to drilldown forms or price lists, are environment-specific and may require coordination with functional consultants and business owners.
