KFF willbe filled in segments

KFF Is mandatory

KFF Drives functionality

Navigation  is Inventory(Navigator)->Setup->FlexField-Key->Segments

then you can search for application and the flex field

Examples : in Oracle Inventory

System Items,Stock Locators,Item Categories,Item Catalogs etc

Descriptive Flex Field :Descriptive flex field is the data which can be entered into the each of the oracle forms which can take extra information,and this option is there for almost all forms in oracle.you find the option of dff in every form that you work

DFF: Is not a mandatory field

DFF Information will go into attributes of the table

DFF does not drive any functionality but you can drive by writing a custom code on the dff fields..
