2. Attempt to select the shortage definition field.
3. Observe that the field is not selectable.

5. Open configuration activity 'Assign Material Shortage Profile to Users' and assign the created Material Shortage Profile to the relevant business user.
   
6. Open the app again and the new shorage definition will be set as default.
