Flexfields Terminology

Flexf ield val idates each segm ent

against a set of val id values, which are

mo st ly predef ined

A segment is a single subf ie ld wi thin

a f lexf ield. You define the app earance

and m eaning o f ind iv idual segments

when custom iz ing a f lexf ield. A

segment is represented in you r

database as a single table colum n.

A f lexf ield st ruc ture is a speci f ic

conf igu rat ion of segm ent . Same f lexf ield

can have mult ip le segment st ructure

Flexfields provide you with the features you need to

satisfy the following business needs:

Customize your applications to conform to your current business

practice for accounting codes, product codes, and other codes.

Customize your applications to capture data that would not

otherwise be tracked by your application.

Have intel l igent fields that are fields comprised of one or more

segments, where each segment has both a value and a meaning.

BenefitsofFlexfields


12/154EASOracle A s

Rely upon your application to validate the values and thecombination of values that you enter in intelligent fields

(Cross Validation Rules).

Have the structure of an intelligent field change depending

on data in your form or application data.

Customize data fields to your meet your business needswithout programming.

Query intelligent fields for very specific information.

Key Flexfields

KeyFlexfields

Intel l igent Key

An intelligent keyis a

code made up o f sect ions,wh ere one or more parts

may have meaning .

An intelligent keycode

uniqu ely id ent i f ies an

object such as an account

or a part o r a job.


15/154EASOracle A s

Combinat ions

KeyFlexfields

A combinationis a

part icu lar complete code,or com binat ion of

segment v alues that

makes up th e code, that

uniqu ely ident i f ies an

object.


16/154EASOracle A s

Each k ey f lexf ie ld has one correspondin g table, known as the

combinations table, where the f lexf ie ld stores a l ist o f the complete

codes, wi th one co lumn for each segment of th e code, together

wi th the co rrespon ding unique ID number (a code com binat ion ID

num ber or CCID) for th at code.

Each t im e a key f lexf ield is com pi led the under lying view is

regenerated to ref lect the latest s truc ture. We can also specify o ur

own name for the view instead of us ing the default view name that

is created. We can achieve this by giving a name in the View

Name field of the Key Flexfield Segments screen.

Request Set


123/154

EASOracle A s

Request Sets are a method of grouping multiple

reports and/or concurrent programs by business

function with common run and print options.

The various tasks of the request set are linked

together to determine the execution order,

whether the tasks execute sequentially or in

parallel.

Stage


124/154

EASOracle A s

Stage is a component of a request set used to group requests within the set. All

requests in a stage are run in parallel, while stages themselves are run sequentiallyin the set.

Tasks that must operate separately are created in different stages.

After defining the initial stage for execution, all subsequent stages are defined

under the three completion status codes for the previous stage.

Request Set
