What are the Major differences bteween key
flexfields ,descriptive flexfields

Answer Posted / dayakarreddy

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 [ ] .

A dff is a lables ,prompt less field provided on the form
of oracle applications package.IT is enabled in AOL
module.it is an optional flexfield .it is used to capture
the additional data which is unque to client information.

A key flex field is used to capture the key information of
an organisation.which is mandatory.

Key flexfields are flexible enough to let any organization
use the code scheme they want, without programming.

Descriptive flexfields provide customizable ?expansion
space? on your forms. You can use descriptive flexfields to
track additional information, important and unique to your
business, that would not otherwise be captured by the form

1.KFF is simply enter data and get results and DFF is user

2. KFF is did't give any expance space i.e additional space,
and DFF is provide additional expance the kff

3.kff is out puts or results giving the with in the four

the 4 walls

4.KFF is not required any coding and DFF is may be required
when the user want.
