RE: What is the difference between key flexfield and Descriptive flexfield?
Key Flexfield is used to describe unique identifiers that will have a better meaning than using number IDs. e.g a part number a cost centre etc
Desc Flex is used to just capture extra information.
Key Flexfields have qualifiers whereas Desc Flexfields do not.
Desc Flexfields can have context sensitive segments while Key flexfields cannot.

1 more difference is:
KFF is based on 2 table structure where as DFF is based on a single table structure

RE: What is the difference between key flexfield and Descriptive flexfield?
A Key Flexfield as the name suggests is a 'Key' building block of a module and is 'Required' for defining the structure for objects of that module Eg. The Account Structure Item Structure etc.

A descriptive FF again as the name suggests helps more in describing an object (like a transaction or screen) more than the available fields on that Screen

Key flexfield captures mandatory business information like company department account etc. whereas

Descriptive flexfield captures additional business information like name of the company's MD etc.

Key flexfields are flexible enough to let any organization use the code scheme they want without programming.

Descriptive flexfields provide customizable expansion space on your forms. You can use descriptive flexfields to track additional information important and unique to your business that would not otherwise be captured by the form
