Flex Fields
Flex Field is nothing but a normal field but it is a ore flexible in the application either to extend the form
functionality or to capture the key information
We have 2 types of flex fields in oracle applications
1. Descriptive Flex Fields , 2. Key Flex Fields
1. Descriptive Flex Fields: DFF will be used to capture extra information from the end user without
changing form code and without altering database table
1. We will use the attribute column while working with DFF
2. We will find all the DFF in Application Developer Responsibility
i. N Flex Filed Descriptive Register

3. To find DFF in form PO Requisition Form
4. Customization of DFF
i. Open the form in application (PO, AP) we will find the fields which are enclosed with
[ ] it is nothing but a DFF we can enable this DFF by using Application Developer
Responsibility
ii. Find the DFF title from following navigation
1. Help Menu Diagnostics Examine and enter password as apps and Block
name $Descriptive Flex field$ we will find the list of DFFs in the fields select
Field: PO_REQ_HDR_DESCRIPTIVE_F4 we will find the DFF in the value
fields Value: Requisition Header (Oracle Purchasing)
iii.
Copy the value go to Application Developer
1. N Flex field Descriptive Segments and enter and press F11 enter the title
Ctrl + F11
iv.
Un check the checkbox called Freeze Flex field definition select segments button
enter the column names select attribute column and value set and save the
transactions.
v.Check the check box called Freeze Flex Field Definition click on compile button
internally system will submit concurrent program (Flex field view Generation) to compile
flex field it will generate one flex field view to capture the data.
vi.
The view name will be database table name _DFV
vii.
Go to the form where DFF is attached, place the cursor, it will open DFF form
enter the data save it go to backend query the records.
Select Attribute3
Buyertype,
Attribute9
Buyerlocaton,
Attribute13
Last Date
From PO_REQUISITION_HEADER_ALL
Where segment1=15467
viii.
Create the value set in system administrator; attach the value set at the time of
creating DFF column name in the value set field.
ix.
We can make the DFF column is optional or mandatory by selecting required
check box in the segments form.

x.Context Field: While creation of DFF we can define multiple structures based on the
user selection we can change the DFF structure. While defining the context field we will
enter context field values for every context value there will be a structure here we can
use the entire attribute column from attribute 1 to 15.
1. NOTE: One we use the attributes in one structure we can use the same
attributes in another structure, because user can enter only one structure details
at a time.
2. NOTE: Once we enter the value in the context field it will be stored in the
Database column called Attribute Category
xi.
Global Data Elements: While defining the context field we will enter the context
field values based on the value we can change the DFF structure if we want to define
any field globally we will select option called Global Data elements, select se4gments
enter the details.
1. Once we use the attribute column in Global Data elements it will not be available
for the context field values.

2. Key Flex Field : These will be used capture key information which is in the code language for every code
there will be a specific meaning in the application we will find all the KFF s in the Application Developer
Responsibility. Navigation Flex field Key Register and enter we can find the structure in the
segments form Navigation Flex Field Key Segments and press enter when we enter the data in KFF it
will be stored in segments columns we will find segments column around 30 based on the requirement.
Differences between DFF and KFF

DFF
1.
DFF will be used to capture EXTRA
Information
2.
Attribute columns will be used
3.
We can register MAX DFF
4.
5.
6.
DFF will be accept what ever Data we

enter
WE have context field
DFF data will be stored in Attribute
Columns
1.

KFF
KFF will be used to capture KEY
Information
Segment columns will be used
We have 29 built in KFF we are not
suppose to create new KFF
KFF we can define rules to capture valid
data
WE have no Context field
DFF codes will be stored in segments
KFF description will be stored in
FND_FLEX_VALUES tables.
To find a table of DFF go to the segment form of DFF

To Capture the Key Information
We can query the Information at any level
Data entry to the user will be very easy
System will accept valid accounting transactions
GL_CODE_COMBINATION All Codes
GLFV_CHARTS_OF_ACCOUNTS Structure Details
Accounting Key Flex Field:
This is one of the built in KFF available in GL application to capture accounting transactions.
Accounting KFF is nothing but Chart of accounts in the set of books when ever we assign the profile (GL:
Set of Books Name) to the user based on the this profile system will assign Accounting KFF to the User.

Structure Column
While defining the KFF we will find structure column field if it is null value then KFF has got only one
structure, if there is a structure column that will find multiple structure, open the segments form query the
records based on KFF title, we will find structure details
For Accounting KFF structure column is CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS_ID
And we will get all the structure details from this table GL_CHARTS_OF_ACCOUNTS.
All the accounting KFF transaction will be stored in the data based table called
GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS
Developing the Reports on KFF - Process

Flex Fields Reports development
P_FLEXDATA: It is one of the lexical parameter having the default value it is a contribution of all the segment
columns, we will use this lexical parameter in the select statement to retrieve the data from database
P_STRUCT_NUM: This is a bind variable will be used to capture KFF structure number
FND FLEX SQL: It is one of the User Exit we will define in the before report trigger to retrieve KFF segments
data
3/29/2016 1:58 PM
ORACLE APPS PART H

FND FLEXIDVAL: This is another user exit will called from formula column to display the KFF data in the
output
1) Call the user ext from before report trigger
SRW.USER_EXIT ( 'FND SRWINIT');
2) Call another User Exit from After Report Trigger
SRW.USER_EXIT ('FND SRWEXIT');
3) Define the following parameters
1) P_CONC_REQUEST_ID
2) P_FLEXDATA
3) P_STRUCT_NUM
4) Before Report Trigger
function BeforeReport return boolean is
L_NAME
VARCHAR2(100);

7) Go to layout model design the report and register with Oracle Applications and submit from the user SRS
form
SRW.REFERENCE( ) : It we are using bind variable in source column the user exit we will refer to get the
latest values for variable and source column
Changing the structure number dynamically:
KFF structure number is nothing but chat of accounts ID, if we know the user set of books name we can
find out chart of Accounts ID.
Set of books name is one of the user profile by using FND profile API we can get from report triggers
Go to before report trigger declare the local variable write the following API
L_name varchar2 (100)
L_name:=fnd_profile.value(GL_SET_OFBKS_NAME);
Write the following select statement to get the structure number based on the set of books name
Select

Form 6i feature
APPS
Call_Form, New_form, Open_form

-
FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE( )
OPEN_FORM built-in
Opens the indicated form. Use OPEN_FORM to create multiple-form applications, that is,
applications that open more than one form at the same time.
NEW_FORM built-in
Exits the current form and enters the indicated form. The calling form is terminated as the parent
form. If the calling form had been called by a higher form, Form Builder keeps the higher call active
and treats it as a call to the new form. Form Builder releases memory (such as database cursors) that
the terminated form was using.
Form Builder runs the new form with the same Runform options as the parent form. If the parent form
was a called form, Form Builder runs the new form with the same options as the parent form.
CALL_FORM built-in
Runs an indicated form while keeping the parent form active. Form Builder runs the called form with
the same Runform preferences as the parent form. When the called form is exited Form Builder
processing resumes in the calling form at the point from which you initiated the call to CALL_FORM.
