Profile Option in Oracle Apps
Profile Option in Oracle Apps
Profile Option values control the behavior of Oracle Apps. With the help of Profiles,
we can restrict the standard behavior of Oracle Applications. in other words, they
determine how Oracle Apps should run. The value for a profile option can be
changed any time.
For Example We have ‘GL Ledger Name’ profile, then with the help of this profile ,
we can restrict the access of GL ledgers by assigning some specific ‘GL Ledger’ to
this profile.
We have two types of Profile options – System and Personal profile options
depending on to whom they are visible and who can update their values.
System Profile options are visible and can be updated only in System
Administrator responsibility. In short they will be maintained by a System
Administrator only.
User Profile Options are visible and can be updated by any end user of
Oracle Apps.
Profile Options can be set at different levels. Site level being the highest and
User being the lowest in the hierarchy. If a profile option is assigned at two
levels, then value assigned at lowest level takes the precedence.
