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 display descriptive flexfield values without clicking on the field

Hi,
We are using ATTRIBUTE1 in PO Headers to provide a field for entering an emergency PO number. When users query a PO in the Puchase Order Headers form with a value in this field, they want the value to display on the form without having to click on the [] field to open up the DFF. Is this possible? This is the only DFF we're using on this form.
The user is telling me the 11i instance used to but it is no longer there in R12.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi,
Check out Reference field and Default Context at DFF level.

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,

Automatically populate a Descriptive FlexField with Default Value

I have 2 Descriptive flexfield segments defined, one is "Start Date" using value set "LS_START_DATE" and the other segment is "End Date" using value set "LS_END_DATE".
Now when I enter the "Start Date", I want the "End Date" to be populated automatically with the value of "Start Date + 365 days".
For example:
If I enter "Start Date" = 25-May-2010
Then "End Date" should be automatically populated with the value "25-May-2011" (i.e., Start Date + 1 year)
Is that possible ?
I tried defining "End Date" segment with "Default Type" as "SQL Statement" and Default Value as "SELECT :$FLEX$.Start Date+365 from dual" , but it's not working.
Can someone please help ?
Prashanthi

I did, the value set created for this segment "Start Date" is "LS_START_DATE" and I changed the sql statement in Default Value to "SELECT :$FLEX$.LS_START_DATE+365 from dual" , but still it is not working ....no luck.

Not much clear what you are ultimately trying to achieve. On HR you may find some %util% packages that help you validate against a lookup, even considering the language of the environment. I guess it was hr_pump_utils.It has validations against lookup tables as well as other entities, bye giving the user value and returning the code or id if found.
If not, you can create your own, passing the lookup type, the description, and optionally the language and use that to query the lookups table and validate the info received.

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,
JOB_NAME, LOCATION_NAME, GRADE_NAME, PEOPLE_GROUP, PAYROLL_NAME,
RECRUITMENT_ACTIVITY_NAME, VACANCY_NAME, USER_ASSIGNMENT_STATUS, PER_SYSTEM_ASSIGNMENT_STATUS, PAY_SYSTEM_ASSIGNMENT_STATUS,
PRIMARY_FLAG_CODE, MANAGER_FLAG_CODE, EMPLOYMENT_CATEGORY_CODE, FREQUENCY_CODE, PER_SYSTEM_STATUS_CODE,
PAY_SYSTEM_STATUS_CODE, PEO_GRP, PEOPLE_GROUP_50309, CONTEXT, DATE_OF_TEST_2,
TIME_OF_TEST_2, PLACE_OF_TEST_2, TYPE_OF_TEST_2, DAYS_FOR_PAY_3, HOURS_FOR_PAY_3,

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.

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.

Thanks Sandeep,
Can you tell me what values does this context field hold? Someone have defined it in the location you specified but whats the value which it holds? For example In the DFF "Add'l Periods of Service Information" the Reference Field was defined as "C_LEGISLATION_CODE". Whats it doing exactly over here?
Thanks

Non-enabled or non-existent descriptive flexfield segment

hi m getting this Error when m trying to Save Text Field value in DFF segment
A value has been provided for a non-enabled or non-existent descriptive flexfield segment. (SEGMENT=ATTRIBUTE17) (VALUE=Y)
regards,
Vivek

Are you trying to use a DFF segment which is not used in the current context. This means you also have the DFF segments being used on the Page.

FNDLOAD for Descriptive Flexfield update

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to consult you on a matter,
I've updated a descriptive flexfield definition (moved some of the segments from GLOBAL to a new context I created = I deleted from global, that freed the attributes again, and then I defined them under a new context field for that DFF).
Now - to move that setup to another instance, I download and uploaded DFF via FNDLOAD.
At first - update was not successful due to the fact that attributes used in new context were occupied by global.
So -
my idea was to just delete ALL DFF definitions in new instance, and then use FNDLOAD to upload.
Turned out ok, and update seems successful.
I just fear deleting DFF definitions completely might harm something and I feel I might be missing something here.
(After all, if it should be OK, why doesn't FNDLOAD delete old definition during update process and then create the new definition , like it does with personalizations??)
Would love to hear your ideas before I do the same on production instances...
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,
I believe you should not delete a DFF, instead you will have to disable it.
Note: 176867.1 - Oracle Applications Flexfields Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) -- 5. Can I delete a descriptive flexfield?
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=176867.1
Did you try to use UPLOAD_MODE=REPLACE? This option will replace your current values with the values you have in the file.
If you want to upload any new items in the file that do not currently exist in your database, use "CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE" option.
Regards,
Hussein

Descriptive Flexfield with date list

Hi,
I have created a descriptive flexfield for date input. Is there any value set I can use with a date list or do I have to create my own value set to populate the flexfield?
Thanks

Try the FND%DATE% value sets.

Descriptive Flexfield transfer from Requisition (iProcurement) to PO

Can a descriptive flexfield be transferred from iProcurement (requisition lines) to Purchase Order (lines)?
I am fairly new to Oracle EBS and this is my first attempt to set up descriptive flexfields. We want the user to populate the field while creating the requisition and would like that value to transfer to the purchase order. (we are on 11i)
Is this possible? Is there an option or setting that I need to be aware of?
Thank you!

I don't think that is possible.
Oracle has the functionality to transfer Req. Distribution DFF to PO Distribution DFF. But it does not work for Req Header or Req Line DFF.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

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
