KFF - Keyflexfields are used throughout the Applications to uniquely identify informations such as GL accounts, INV items, FIxed Assets and other entities that every business needs to keep track of.
DFF- Descriptive flexfields enable you to capture additional pieces of information from transaction entered into Oracle EBS.
DFF and KFF share common features. They are multisegment fields. Application validates individual segments based ons makes valueset rules and ensures that the segments makes sense using CVR (cross-validation rules).babu_siva

What is the significance of cross validate segments in the Key flexfield structure screen (figure 6)?
Read Best Answer
Editorial / Best Answer
samareshp- Member Since Apr-2009 | Apr 9th, 2009
Cross validation (also known as cross segment validation) controls the combinations of values you can create when you enter values for key flexfields. A cross validation rule defines whether a value of a particular segment can be combined with specific values of other segments.
Cross validation is different from segment validation, which controls the values you can enter for a particular segment.
When a user finishes entering segment values in a flexfield popup window, the flexfield checks whether the values make up a valid combination before updating the database. If the user entered an invalid combination, a diagnostic error message appears, and the cursor returns to the first segment assumed to contain an invalid value.

flexfield qualifier identifies a particular segment of a key flexfield. You can think of a flexfield qualifier as an ?identification tag? for asegment.
Ex. balancing segment, natural accounting segment, cost center and inter company segment qualifiers
A segment qualifier identifies a particular type of value in a single segment of a key flexfield. In the Oracle Applications, only the Accounting Flexfield uses segment qualifiers. You can think of a segment qualifier as an ?identification tag? for a value.
Allow Budgeting, Allow Posting, and Account Type fields are segment qualifiers for the Accounting Flexfieldbhanu teja

What are context sensitive segments in descriptive flexfields?

Editorial / Best Answer
agouthaman- Member Since Feb-2010 | Feb 18th, 2010
Context Sensitive Segments are conditional DFFs. Only when a condition is met a particular field 'appears' and we are able to capture details. So for that first DFF is made context sesitive and then second one if made reference.

CONTEXT SENSITIVE SEGMENTS are displayed based on the context value. for eg, in a application where we enter the employee information, certain?segments should be displayed with respect to designation and some should not. This is where CONTEXT SENSITIVE SEGMENTS come into picture.

What is the significance of reference field in a DFF?

Editorial / Best Answer
rams.regalla- Member Since Jun-2007 | Jun 19th, 2007
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.rams.regalla

What is the significance of structure id in key flexfields?

How do I define global segment qualifier?
Read Best Answer
Editorial / Best Answer
satishmkumar- Member Since May-2009 | May 14th, 2009
Global segment qualifier is a hidden qualifier. By default this flexfield qualifier is assigned to all the segments of the structure by the system.
1. Allow Budgeting: YES/NO
If we enable 'Allow Budgeting' ---- YES on any segment value, it means we can allow budget values on that segment value.
2. Allow Posting: YES/NO
If we enable 'Allow Posting' ------YES on any segment, we can post journals created on that segment value.satishmkumar
