Qns47: Difference between Key and Descriptive Flexfield? Ans47: Key Flexfield Descriptive Flefield 1. Unique Identifier 1.To capture extra information 2. Key Flexfield are stored in segment 2.Stored in attributes 3.For key flex field there are flex field 3. Context-sensitive flex field is a feature Qualifier and segment Qualifier of DFF.(descriptive flex field) Qns48: Difference between Flexfield Qualifier and Segment Qualifier. Ans48: Flexfield qualifier is used to identify a particular segment within a Key flexfield. While segment qualifier is used to capture value for any particular Segment. Qns49: What is Cross Validation Rule? Ans 49: To prevent users from entering invalid combinations of segments Oracle General Ledger allows u to set up cross validation rule. There are two types of cross-validation Rule element: include and exclude. For example, to secure a balance sheet account to be associated with the balance sheet cost center or the corporate cost center only,U must include every possible combination then exclude the balance Sheet account range for the cost center. Qns50: Purpose of Cross Validation rule. Ans50: u can use Cross Validation rule to perform certain validations in your Accounting flex field. For example, u can use Cross Validation rule To secure all balance sheet account to be associated only with the balance Sheet cost center, corporate cost center and profit and loss account to be associated with the specific cost center other than the corporate Center. Qns51: What are types of segment for Descriptive Flexfield. Ans51: Two types 1). Global segments 2). Context-sensitive segment. Global Segment: global segment maps one to one to a database column. DFF segment stored in ATTRIBUTE. Global segment always Displayed in a descriptive flex field. Context-Sensitive Segment: Context sensitive segment can share a single database Column because the context sensitive will be Mutually exclusive and will never overlap.
