BASIC FLOW OF FINANCIAL.

In this we receive order from customer. WIP (work in process) if we are not able to
meet sales order then requisition is raised. PO is approved. PO goes to supplier. Supplier
sends his shipment. At the time of creation of invoice PO matching takes place. If
matching is approved then payment is made to supplier. Then all entries go to GL.
Entry from AR is also goes to GL.

Q1: Difference between customization, enhancement and implementation?

Your organization. Flexfield have flexible structure for storing key information.
Like Company, Cost Center, and Account. They also give u highly adaptable
Structure for storing customized information in oracle Applications.

Qns41: What are the elements of Flex field?

Ans41: 1). Structure 2). Segment
3). Segment value 4). Value set
Qns42: What do u means by structure?
Ans42: Structure as the name implies defines how Flexfield is constructed. A Flex field
structure determines how many Segments it has, as well as how the segments are
sequenced. Each structure is mapped to a structure ID Column in the database table for
key Flexfield. Each Structure is mapped with context sensitive column in the database
table for descriptive Flexfield.

Qns43: What do u means by Segment?

Ans 43: Each Segment represents an element of your business structure
Such as Employee, Cost Center, Account. A Flexfield can have
Multiple Field. A segment is a single field with in a Flexfield.

Qns44: What do u means by Value set?

Ans 44: Value set identifies a list of valid value for the segment.
Value set also governs the segment value’s length, its data type.

Qns45: What do u means by Segment value?

Ans45: Value for each segment of flex field.

Qns46: What is Key and Descriptive Flexfield.

CSC India Pvt. Ltd. 10

Confidential Page 10 of 25
Ans46: Key Flexfield: #unique identifier, storing key information
# Used for entering and displaying key information.
For example Oracle General uses a key Flexfield called Accounting
Flexfield to uniquely identifies a general account.
Descriptive Flexfield: # To Capture additional information.
# To provide expansion space on your form
With the help of []. [] Represents descriptive flexfield.
Qns47: Difference between Key and Descriptive Flexfield?
Ans47:
Key Flexfield Descriptive Flefield
1. Unique Identifier 1.To capture extra information
2. Key Flexfield are stored in segment 2.Stored in attributes
3.For key flex field there are flex field 3. Context-sensitive flex field is a feature
Qualifier and segment Qualifier of DFF.(descriptive flex field)

Qns48: Difference between Flexfield Qualifier and Segment Qualifier.

Ans48: Flexfield qualifier is used to identify a particular segment within a Key flexfield.
While segment qualifier is used to capture value for any particular Segment.

Qns49: What is Cross Validation Rule?

Ans 49: To prevent users from entering invalid combinations of segments Oracle General
Ledger allows u to set up cross validation rule. There are two types of cross-validation
Rule element: include and exclude. For example, to secure a balance sheet account to be
associated with the balance sheet cost center or the corporate cost center only,U must
include every possible combination then exclude the balance Sheet account range for the
cost center.

Qns50: Purpose of Cross Validation rule.

Ans50: u can use Cross Validation rule to perform certain validations in your
Accounting flex field. For example, u can use Cross Validation rule To secure all
balance sheet account to be associated only with the balance Sheet cost center, corporate
cost center and profit and loss account to be associated with the specific cost center other
than the corporate Center.

Qns51: What are types of segment for Descriptive Flexfield.

Ans51: Two types
1). Global segments
2). Context-sensitive segment.
Global Segment: global segment maps one to one to a database column.
DFF segment stored in ATTRIBUTE. Global segment always
Displayed in a descriptive flex field.
Context-Sensitive Segment: Context sensitive segment can share a single database
Column because the context – sensitive will be
Mutually exclusive and will never overlap.
