Flexfield Qualifiers in Oracle Apps

Flexfield Qualifier

A flexfield qualifier identifies a particular segment of a key flexfield.

1. Usually an application needs some method of identifying a particular segment for some application purpose such as security or computations.
2. However, since the a key flexfield can be customized so that segments appear in any order with any prompts, the application needs a mechanism other than the segment name or segment order to use for segment identification.
3. Flexfield qualifiers serve this purpose. You can think of a flexfield qualifier as an "identification tag" for a segment. Lets take example of Cost Allocation Flexfield.

Navigate to Cost Allocation Flexfield.

How to find Cost Allocation Flexfield Segments

• When you will open the Segments, a button is available on that window "Flexfield Qualifiers".

• You may enable/disable to display each segment at a particular level e.g. Cost Allocation Flexfiled segments can be displayed at different levels e.g. Assignment, Balancing, Element, Element Entry, Organization and Payroll.

• Respective segments which you enabled/disabled will be displayed at relevant level. Here is an example of Costing segments being shown on Element Link window.
