Whitepapers

Extending the power of flexfields

Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs) have always been an extremely popular Oracle Apps feature, but like all good things there are only so many of them. As a result the DFFs are often treated as valuable real-estate and a lot of clients invariably run out of them. This happens especially in case of objects like Sales Order Header, Lines and Items. Running out of flexfields often leads to compromises on extensions/customizations and/or information that can be stored/readily accessed for business. This white paper outlines a solution, that lets one add almost an unlimited number of flexfields to any number of objects.
