Hi Mashood,

Navigate to Setup--> Financials--> Descrptive --> Segments.

Query on the following

Application: General Ledger
Title: Enter Journals: Lines ( This DFF is on the Journal Lines)

Uncheck the Tab: Freeze Flexfield definition.

Enter the Code, Name and Description, and click Segments. Define the number od sgements you want to use.As far as my knowledge max is 15. After saving it. Compile the DFF.

In Journal entry forn in lines region, you see u r dff enabled for use.

Hope this helps you

Regards

Thanks Anurag;
I managed to create the DFF, i was looking for Title: Enter Journals: Journals. The fields/segments i have created now it is appearing in the enter journal screen.

One more thing i would like to clear/understand.
When i click the DFF --> Context. It shows the fields that i have created but it is also showing two other fields 'OU Doc Sequence' and 'Context'.
What is the purpose of these fields?
Will it appear as it is or we can hide it?

Thanks and Regards
Mashood

If we create a DFF to capture additional information about a customer in the Customer form, how will we retrieve that information in the report.

Eg:I wanted to capture the Shipper a/c # in the customer.So For that I have selected
Application :Receivables
Title:Customer information.
Created a segment called Shipper Account and attached a value set for it.I did give the values for this DFF.
Now I can see the DFF in my customer form and I could select my values.
My doubt is when we run a customer detail report,why this DFF is not showing in the report.Do I have to enable anywhere to show up in the report.Or DFF are not usually shown in any reports.

Pls provide valuable information
Remi
