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.

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

Descriptive Flexfield Manual Updation

Dear All,
Please tell me, how to update descriptive flexfield data of attribute11 column in oe_order_lines_all, while line has been closed.
Can we browse the table in toad and update the data manually?
Regards,
Jamil

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,

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.

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,

Journal Line Description not displayed

Hi,
I ran create accounting for Inventory ( cost management ) and inported the journals to GL. But we cannot see the journal line description.Instead only the Journal Import Created can be seen.
I found a note saying to change the following
Accounting Setup manager > Subledger Accounting Options > Cost Management > Update Accounting Options >General Ledger Journal Entry Summarization to No Summarization .
This works well for AP, but not for Inventory.
Please can someone explain this situations.
Thanks and Regards,
MPH

Setting Journal Entry Summarization to No Summarization alone can't give the description in GL.
Along with above, in the Journal Line Definition screen, you may need to add Journal Line Descriptions at Journal Line Type level.

Re: Journal Line Description not displayed

Hi,
Trying to do the same etc include journal line description. Found some notes and tried doing the below setups ....
Did the followings ...
1 Accounting Setup manager > Subledger Accounting Options > Cost Management > Update Accounting Options >General Ledger Journal Entry Summarization to No Summarization .
2. In SLA Cost Management...
   -Define new JED, selecting PO number.
   -Define new JLD by copying the existing RCPT_REC_INSP and DELIVER_EXPENSE and attached the new JED.
   -Define new AAD by copying from the existing COST_MANAGEMENT and attached the newly created JLD.
   Lastly, enddate the seeded SLAM and add a new AAD assignments and attached to the newly created AAD.
But upon validating the accounting definition, it shows invalid and though enabled the fnd log, still do not see any message.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

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.

Descriptive flexfield balance needed

Hello
We are using R12 Apps
my problem is as follows:
Suppose there are 3 segments in a descriptive flexfield(DFF) and all contain numbers in it or you can say display certain amounts
Now in the fourth segment that i create in the same DFF, i need to display the total sum for the amounts in the first three DFF`s..is that possible
Pleasee let me know
Thanks
Muhammed

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,

Row wrapping of Line Description playing havoc with my Invoice!

Dear Experts,
I know this issue has been brought up before (its also mentioned in the comments at end of Tim's blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/03/anatomy_of_a_template_ii_heade.html by Jon) but I've failed to find an answer on it and would be grateful before embarking on some head scratching if anyone else had solved it?
I'm using an invoice similar to that in Tim's above blog. Its a fixed lines invoice that counts each record fetched as equaling one line. A count is made of each record fetch and when the number of records meets the maximum number of lines per page constant, a page break occurs.
The problem I have is that this works fine if the line description in the record is less than a line in length, but if the text in this line description results in wrapping onto the next line (it can include carriage returns) then this record which is counted as one line, actually takes up 2 physical lines on the template for example. In this case, the lines will extend too far down the template before the page break occurs. The requirement is to allow the possibility of several line descriptions for each record, so maybe I have to examine the characters and carriage returns in each of the line description and with some logic work out how many physical lines this equates to and add the extra to the line count?
Any insight or solutions to this problem would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Mark

Pterobyte, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Apple has not provided any amavisd update with the updates to 10.5 server, at least not since circa 10.5.5, which still has
amavisd-new-2.5.1
Rather, some clamav updates have been provided by Apple.
Looking at the contents of the 10.5.7 Server Combo update, I see no amavisd content at all.
So - unless I'm mistaken -
mrblip, you have manually updated amavisd somehow on your own,
and if so please state exactly which instructions you followed.

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!

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.

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.
