Key Flexfield is used to describe unique identifiers that
will have a better meaning than using number IDs. e.g a part
number, a cost centre etc Desc Flex is used to just capture
extra information. Key Flexfields have qualifiers whereas
Desc Flexfields do not. Desc Flexfields can have context
sensitive segments while Key flexfields cannot.
KFF is based on 2 table structure where as DFF is based on a
single table structure
A Key Flexfield as the name suggests is a 'Key' building
block of a module and is 'Required' for defining the
structure for objects of that module Eg. The Account
Structure, Item Structure, etc. A descriptive FF again as
the name suggests helps more in describing an object (like a
transaction or screen), more than the available fields on
that Screen
Key flexfield captures mandatory business information like
company, department,account etc.,whereas
Descriptive flexfield captures additional business
information like name of the company's MD etc.,
KFF displays like text item but DFF displays like [ ] .
