EIT is HRMS functionality and are used for DFF
DFF is used in GL, AP,AR....modules to add extra columns to a particulare field

Hi,
Its possible to do calculations on KFF or DFF columns.

But calculations on KFF or DFF columns are not effective in WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE' or 'WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM' triggers.

Calculations coding should be done in 'PRE-INSERT' or 'WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD' triggers.

eg: In PRE-INSERT trigger

:M_RECEIPTS.ATTRIBUTE3=:M_RECEIPTS.ATTRIBUTE1+:M_RECEIPTS.ATTRIBUTE2

hope it helps

Hi karthikeyan,I think we can not disable DFF attributes dynamically using set_item_property.But dynamically we can set DFF attributes to Read Only using FND_DESCR_FLEX.UPDATE_DEFINITION().regards

Based on the value selected in a particular field,if you want to pop-up DFF segments, then reference field will be used.

eg:you have a field called Item. if you choose Computer as an Item, then in DFF segments you want to show Computer Brand name, Size.
If you choose TV as an item , then in DFF you may want to show TV name,TV Color,TV Inches etc

in reference field, we enter :Item as Reference, then in context values,we enter the Item Values and then respective Segment names.
