Journal Import - Import Descriptive Flexfield = Yes

Hi Gurus,
If i run the Journal Import - Program with Import Descriptive Flexfield parameter = 'Yes'.
Will it allow if a descriptive flex field is null.
I do not want to import the Journals if the Attribute1 is NULL. Kindly help me with the best way of doing this..
Thanks,
Genoo

I wont be able to comment on it with certainity.
You can perform a trial and error run by doing the following:
1st case: i would recommend you to run the Jounral Import by setting the Descriptive Flexfield Import as Yes and with validations and without making the changes in the code.
2nd case: i would recommend you to run the Jounral Import by setting the Descriptive Flexfield Import as Yes and with validations and by making the changes in the code.
Compare the results of the two scenario above and make changes accordingly if required, However prior to making the changes please consult it with a technical resource to get his thoughts on the same.
Also you can evaluate what validations are provided by Oracle while importing the DFF since may be that you dont have to anything else apart from your side and Oracle standard code can take care of the same.
Hope this helps
Thanks and Regards
Manish Jain.

How not to get a 'Journal Import Created' description at the Journal Entry Lines?

For records loaded thru the Journal import,
I always get a 'Journal Import Created' description at the Journal Entry Lines.
Instead of this description, I want a
more useful information which I may
include at the GL_INTERFACE table
possibly at the REFERENCE10 field.
For those who will reply to this question,
thank you very much in advance.
null

To populate this journal description, the Reference10 field must be populated in the GL_INTERFACE table.
However, I have also discovered (version 11.03) that if you populate this field, but then import summarized journals, Oracle discards the value and reverts to "Journal Import Created" unless the value in the reference10 field is identical for all records to be summarized.

Custom Program to update the GL journal DFF each time journals are imported

Hi Guru's,
I have a requirement that I need to build a custom program to update the GL Journal Lines DFF. This program will be executed each time sub-ledger journals are imported to GL.
OPM, AP, AR, Inv & OM will be the Journal sources for those the journal line DFF needs to be updated.
Kindly could anyone give me the best way of doing it.
Thanks & Regards,
Genoo

Hello Geno,
A technical solution is when Journal Import program is launched, the updates of DFF are done after the creation of journals in GL.
So no need to have a custom concurrent program to update the Journals.
You can customize the gl_import_hook_pkg.post_module_hook package to call a custom package and do the updates for journals.

Order Lines Descriptive Flexfield

We import our orders from an external system. We have many additional attributes to store at the order line level. We have already used all 20 Segments on the Additional Line Information Descriptive Flexfield but we still have more attributes to store.
Is there somewhere else we can store these values? On another DFF or some other solution.?

You can create a custom table with the order_line_id as the primary key. And you can store your additional data in columns of this table.
The data won't be visible in the seeded OE form. You will have to write a custom screen that shows data. It will be very easy to create a ZOOM from the OE screens that opens your custom form to show data for a given order line.
There are global_attribute fields that are typically used by Oracle for localizations. If you do not have any localizations, you can try using them.
Hope this answers your question

Item categories descriptive flexfield

Hi,
I want to change item categories descriptive flexfield on production system and add two more segments.
Should I do it after no user would be working on inventory or there would be no problem in adding or chnaging descriptive flexfield in live systen?
/Z

There is always a small chance that a user who happens to be updating the category may get an error if you do it during day-time.
So try it in off-hours.
You said "descriptive" but I assume you mean the "key" flexfield for categories.
If you add 2 segments, it is important that you update existing categories and make sure they are valid with the new structure.
Also, if those old categories were used in Purchasing, you may get errors.

Create Descriptive Flexfield Structure

All,
I am wondering if it is possbile to create a descriptive flexfield structure to be added to a form flexfield instead of having the flexfields segments added seperately.
Example:
Currently:
Flexfield 1 Yes
Flexfield 2 Yes
Flexfield 3 Yes
Flexfield 4 No
Desired:
Flexfield 1 Yes
Flexfield 2 Yes.Yes.No
Thanks in advanced!

Try specifying a view name in the structure and see what information it gives You after compiling. I tried a while back, I guess with 11.5.7 but it gave me an error regarding the application at which the base table was registered and DFV view creation failed.

Descriptive flexfield setup

Hi, need help and advise.
I have created a descriptive flexfield for attribute17 column of hz_cust_site_uses_all table with value set 'Yes/No' (LOV type) for validation.
My problem is how to make the descriptive flexfield to reflect the existing value store in this column as default value as the existing records
store with 'Y' or 'N' in the table.
Regards,
BE.

Hi, thanks for respond.
the value is updated correctly with 'Y' for attribute17 in the table for selected customers via API as the status return from API was 'S' - Success.
Actually the value set assigned to flexfield is using the 'Yes' and 'No' from the fnd_lookups table and defaulted to 'No' for this flexfield.
So, even I have updated with 'Y' in the table but the flexfield is still reflecting the default value 'No' at the form level.
When setup for the flexfield, the 'Synchronize with Reference Field' is enabled and context code is 'BILL_TO' and 'Global Data Elements'.
With the same table, I have no problem for attribute12 with the context code 'Global Data Elements'
but I am having problem for attribute17 with the context code 'BILL_TO'.
Regards,
BE.

No concatenated descriptive flexfield value to validate.

After adding another Descriptive Flexfield, pointing to ATTRIBUTE19 in GL JE LINES ('Enter Journals:Lines'), the ADI Templates are giving me Warnings as 'No concatenated descriptive flexfield value to validate.', with a YELLOW face on all the ADI rows.
It never gave any kind of Warning before these changes (Adding / Enabling ATTRIBUTE19 length 50 in the Descriptive Flex field of GL Lines ).
Users are not happy with these messages.
Please advice me why am I getting the error and what I can do to fix this Warning.
Thank you so much,

Hi Nel,
use a Pair type value set to achieve this. This value set should be attached to both the DFF Item Low and DFF Item High DFF attributes.
You can refer to seeded value set CST_SRS_ITEM_PAIR.
For this Pair value set the functions are define dlike this:
Event: Edit
Function
FND POPIDR CODE="MSTK" APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV"
VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=:!VALUE NAVIGATE="!DIR" REQUIRED="N"
ALLOWNULLS="Y"
Event: Validate
Function
FND VALIDR CODE="MSTK" APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV"
VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=:!VALUE REQUIRED="N" ALLOWNULLS="Y"
Hope this helps!

How to disable programmatically an item in a Descriptive flexfield

Hi friends,
doy you know How to disable programmatically an item in a Descriptive flexfield using CUSTOM.pll?
The problem is that I need to do it under the WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE event, and the item (based in an attribute column of a database table) hasn't a canvas asociated at that moment....
Do you have any example?
Thanks,
Jose.

Hi Prashant,
mmm yes, for now there are two fields it he DFF window.. but in a future .. may be more..
I've found a function:
fnd_flex_key_api.enable_column that may be properly for that, but I don't know what to pass in the the first parameter (flexfield IN flexfield_type)...
I mean: I suppose is the "name" for my DFF but.. how can I get it?
Thanks,
jose.

Is it possible to delete a Descriptive Flexfield?

Hi,
Is it possible to delete a Descriptive Flexfield?
If yes, how?
Thanks,
Ravi

Thank you Fadi. I am trying to reload DFFs using FNDLOAD utility from DEV instance to TEST instance. As the flexfields are already there, it does not appear to be reloading them (no error messages in the FNDLOAD log though), because I don't see the DFFs being updated with the latest changes.
So, I was thinking if I delete the existing ones, maybe it will reload correctly. But, if I cannot delete the existing DFFs, there is no way to get them corrected, other than manually doing it on the TEST environment.

Creation of Descriptive FlexField on Supplier

Hello,
I am trying to add a new segment under context "Global Data Elements" of a DFF.
Currently this context has two segments referring to columns ATTRIBUTE1 adn ATTRIBUTE2
In the Segments Summary screen, when I try to select the Descriptive Flexfield column of which I believe it is available (ATTRIBUTE3), I can only select the column "ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY".
EBS R12
application = Purchasing
title = vendors
table = PO_VENDORS
Does anyone has any hints? What am I doing / thinking wrong?
Thanks

Attributes might have been used in another DFF. Run the below query to check if other columns are used in another DFF.
SELECT application_column_name,end_user_column_name,
ffv.flex_value_set_name,flex_usage.*
FROM fnd_descr_flex_col_usage_vl flex_usage,
fnd_descriptive_flexs_vl flex,
fnd_flex_value_sets ffv
WHERE flex.descriptive_flexfield_name = flex_usage.descriptive_flexfield_name
AND flex.application_table_name like 'PO_VENDORS%'
AND flex_usage.flex_value_set_id = ffv.flex_value_set_id(+)
Thanks

The value in flexfield context reference web bean does not match with the value in the context of the Descriptive flexfield web bean BranchDescFlex. If this in not intended, please go back to correct the data or contact your Systems Administrator for assi

Hi ,
We have enabled context sensitive DFF in Bank Branch Page for HZ_PARTIES DFF , We have created Flex Map so that only bank branch context fields are only displayed in the bank branch page and as we know party information DFF is shared by supplier and Customer Page so we dint want to see any Bank Branch fields or context information in those pages.
We have achieved the requirement but when open existing branches bank branch update is throwing below error message :
"The value in flexfield context reference web bean does not match with the value in the context of the Descriptive flexfield web bean BranchDescFlex. If this in not intended, please go back to correct the data or contact your Systems Administrator for assistance."
this error is thrown only when we open existing branches, if we save existing branch and open then it is not throwing any error message.
Please let us know reason behind this error message.
Thanks,

Program to add in the Assignment views Descriptive flexfields segments

Hi,
I have added two context fields values in the descriptive flexfield "Additional Assignment Details". I see that the view hrfg_employee_assignments has reflected those changes and has included 4 attribute columns:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW HRFG_EMPLOYEE_ASSIGNMENTS
(BUSINESS_GROUP_NAME, PERSON_NAME, PREFIX, SUFFIX, FIRST_NAME,
LAST_NAME, PREFERRED_NAME, MIDDLE_NAMES, TITLE, COLLECTIVE_AGREEMENT_NAME,
ASSIGNMENT_NUMBER, NORMAL_START_TIME, NORMAL_END_TIME, PRIMARY_FLAG, INTERNAL_ADDRESS,
MANAGER_FLAG, EMPLOYMENT_CATEGORY, ASSIGNMENT_TYPE_CODE, ASSIGNMENT_TYPE, WORKING_HOURS_AMOUNT,
WORKING_HOURS_FREQUENCY, EMPLOYEE_NUMBER, HIRE_DATE, ORIGINAL_DATE_OF_HIRE, WORK_TELEPHONE_NUMBER,
SUPERVISOR_NAME, SUPERVISOR_NUMBER, SALARY_BASIS, ORGANIZATION_NAME, POSITION_NAME,

PERSON_ID, POSITION_ID, RECRUITMENT_ACTIVITY_ID, SALARY_BASIS_ID, SUPERVISOR_ID,
VACANCY_ID, COLLECTIVE_AGREEMENT_ID)
AS
SELECT .....
I see that it has added comments in these view columns :
DESC CONTEXT,800,PER_ASSIGNMENTS,A
DESC SEGMENT,800,PER_ASSIGNMENTS,A,ASS_ATTRIBUTE1
DESC SEGMENT,800,PER_ASSIGNMENTS,A,ASS_ATTRIBUTE2
and so on.
Now I disable those value codes in the descriptive flexfield from System Administrator and add two new context values.
Which program should I run to reflect these changes in HRFG_EMPLOYEE_ASSIGNMENTS view?
Thank you.

Unfortunately Microsoft decided to make things complicated in 2010. Resource.Assignment.Text1 is not the same as Task.Assignment.Text1.
As far as I know, VBA is the only solution. I would run the code in the before_save event.

Updating PO Lines Descriptive Flexfield

We're currently still on R11.5.10.2 and we're customizing the Purchase Orders form by adding an option under the Tools menu to mass update several different fields. One of the fields happens to be a descriptive flexfield on the PO line. We're able to update the DFF, but the actual updated value doesn't seem to be reflected/displayed after we perform the update. If we cursor and tab to the DFF and open it up, it actually has the updated value, but when we close the DFF field, it still displays the old value. We've tried different calls to see if we can refresh the displaying of DFF, but no luck. How can we customize to accomplish this in the form?

It's a straight update to the base table from the PO form. We're just assigning the values to the DFF (in this case, ATTRIBUTE1) and let the form update the record. When we assign the value to the ATTRIBUTE1 field, we cannot see this change right away. If we tab to the DFF, the latest value is there. And when we tab out of it, the latest value is not being reflected. In other words, the DFF is not displaying the latest value. It is only after you save the data that it displays the updated value. I was hoping that there may be some API related call to DFF that we can make to display the change right away before the data is saved, but I'm not able to get this to work within the form.
