3 - Key Flexfields
Definitions
Points to Consider
Before creating Key Flexfields consider the following points,
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
Plan the Structure

Plan number of segments of each Key Flexfield
Segment Size
Segment Values
Validations
Naming Conventions
Future Changes Considerations
1. System Items Flexfield

Oracle allows only on System Items Flexfield at a single site. So here we will use the System
Items already configured on our vision instance. If we will change this Flexfield the then the
vision configuration will be invalid. So to keep vision setup intact we will use the same segments
created in vision instance as default by Oracle.
1.1.
Open the Key Flexfield Segments form,

Sys Admin: Application > Flexfield > Key > Segments
1.2.
1.3.
Click on search button (M).

1.4.
www.erpstuff.com
Click on OK (B).
17/38
1.5.
1.6.
www.erpstuff.com
Unlike other Key Flexfield you cant create multiple System Item Flexfields on one
instance. So all the companies configured on an instance will use same Flexfield.
Click on Segments (B).
1.7. Click on Open (B).

Note: This is single segment configuration while you can have more segments as per
requirements and item code structure.
