Hi there,

Q1. Can you please explain the concept of profile options. What is the purpose of it.

Sol: Profile Options control the behaviour and the functioning of Applications... it acts as a linking point between various setups !

Q2. Do i need to create 2 responsibilities for India n Pakistan.

Sol: Certainly you need to create 2 Responsibilities, since you will be having seperate Set of Books for India and Pakistan because they dont share similar currencies. And one responsibility can point to only one Set of Books.

Q3. How to assign profile options to this responsibility.

Sol:
Steps involved :

1) Create Two new Responsibilities for the Two set of books you have ( We will call it as IND and PAK )
2) Switch responsibility to System Administrator
3) Navigate to Profile > System
4) In the Pop Up Window , Click on the Responsibility field and select your IND responsibility first and at the end of the screen click on the profile field and select GL Set of Books Profile Option and Click FIND
5) Beneath the responsibility Column click in the while field and select your Set of Books name which u created for India and click ok and Save..
6) Its done
7) Perform the steps 3 to 5 for another responsibility which is PAK

HOPE THIS HELPS !
