what is the difference between flexfield qualifier and segment qualifier?

Answered On : Oct 10th, 2005flexfield qualifier identifies a particular segment of a key flexfield. You can think of a flexfield qualifier as an ”identification tag” for asegment.
Ex. balancing segment, natural accounting segment, cost center and inter company segment qualifiers
A segment qualifier identifies a particular type of value in a single segment of a key flexfield. In the Oracle Applications, only the Accounting Flexfield uses segment qualifiers. You can think of a segment qualifier as an ”identification tag” for a value.
Allow Budgeting, Allow Posting, and Account Type fields are segment qualifiers for the Accounting Flexfield
--> Flex field qualifiers identify the Segments in the structure
--> Segment qualifiers identify the Segment Values
Flex field qualifiers are assigned to segments of a flexfield structure.where as segment qualifiers are assigned to values of a segment in a flex field structure.

The number of attribute columns available for a DFF depends on how many attribute columns the underlying table has. Some have around 15 others have upto 30.

What are the mandatory fields you should enabled while designing the descriptive flexfields?
There is no such rule that you need to have mandatory fields on a DFF. It works perfectly even without mandatory fields. But, it is a general practice that we will have atleast o...
Mandatory fields are also called as KEY FLEXFIELDS. Key flexfileds are used to capture mandatory or key business information of the organization. Key flexfields are DATE, CURRENCY, TYPE OF ACCOUNT.
what is the significance of structure id in key flexfields?
I think the strucure Id enables us to create 2 (or more) different structures for the same key flexfield. For example creating two different structure for the GL Accounts Key flexfield for two different operating units.
The structure ID is the unique identifier for the Flexfield structure defined across the entire installation. It is this unique identifier which helps in associating a structure with an entiry in your installation /Business Unit/Legal entity

KFF - Keyflexfields are used throughout the Applications to uniquely identify informations such as GL accounts, INV items, FIxed Assets and other entities that every business needs to keep track of.
DFF- Descriptive flexfields enable you to capture additional pieces of information from transaction entered into Oracle EBS.
DFF and KFF share common features. They are multisegment fields. Application validates individual segments based ons makes valueset rules and ensures that the segments makes sense using CVR (cross-validation rules).
Key Flex Field: Here we simply enter the business data or transactions to get the results or output (with some limitation). Though coding & programming is not required, you do not have expans...

what are context sensitive segments in descriptive flexfields?
Answered by: agouthaman
Member Since Feb-2010 | Answered On : Feb 17th, 2010
Context Sensitive Segments are conditional DFFs. Only when a condition is met a particular field 'appears' and we are able to capture details. So for that first DFF is made context sesitive and then second one if made reference.

CONTEXT SENSITIVE SEGMENTS are displayed based on the context value. for eg, in a application where we enter the employee information, certain segments should be displayed with respect to designation and some should not. This is where CONTEXT SENSITIVE SEGMENTS come into picture.

The Accounting Flexfield Ranges block of the 'Define Budget Organization form' contains a range flexfield called Accounting Flexfield. This is based on Accounting KFF only.

DFF has two types of segments
1. Global Segments
2. Context Sensitive Segments
Context Sensitive Segments depends on value of another field.
REFERENCE Field - If the context sensitive information is derived from a field in the form, then that field is called as a Reference Field.
CONTEXT Field - If the context sensitive information is derived from a field / segment in the DFF pop up windown, then that field is called as a Context Field.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Arun

Cross validation (also known as cross segment validation) controls the combinations of values you can create when you enter values for key flexfields. A cross validation rule defines whether a value of a particular segment can be combined with specific values of other segments.
Cross validation is different from segment validation, which controls the values you can enter for a particular segment.
When a user finishes entering segment values in a flexfield popup window, the flexfield checks whether the values make up a valid combination before updating the database. If the user entered an invalid combination, a diagnostic error message appears, and the cursor returns to the first segment assumed to contain an invalid value.
Cross Validation Rules are used to restrict the combination of the segments of a particular structure.

Global segment qualifier is a hidden qualifier. By default this flexfield qualifier is assigned to all the segments of the structure by the system.
1. Allow Budgeting: YES/NO
If we enable 'Allow Budgeting' ---- YES on any segment value, it means we can allow budget values on that segment value.
2. Allow Posting: YES/NO
If we enable 'Allow Posting' ------YES on any segment, we can post journals created on that segment value.
