QUESTION POSED ON: 03 June 2004
I just started learning about Oracle Apps. I am bit confused about flexfields. Can we add a new descriptive flexfield to a standard form where it does not already exist?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
Yes, you can. However, if you add a flexfield to a standard form, the form is then customized.

A flexfield can only be added to a registered table... That is, a table that the Oracle Applications foundation knows about. It may be that you can do what you want using existing flexfields or other functionality. There is an applications flexfield guide that tells you how to design the existing flexfields to meet your needs. It is the Oracle Applications Flexfield guide, downloadable from Oracle if you have a MetaLink account.
