Two Types of Validation for Flexfields
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 4:15 am
Dear All
Thanks to administrator to acknowledge and start this Forum.
This is a New Forum started by me and Admin to share the knowledge using the management concept of 5W's (What it is, Why it is, Who has to set, When it has to be set, Where it has to be set) and 1H (How it is set)
Example
<b>Application Version:</b> 11.0.3 to 12
<b>Modules:</b> All Modules which has the Flexfields
<b>Industry Specific:</b> All industries.
Two Types of Validation for the Flexfields
<b>What it is</b>: Format Validation, Value Validation
<b>Why it is:</b>
Format Validation: It performs the Validation on the Format of the Flexfield Values should be Numeric,
Character etc., and Number of Digit, upper case etc., while creating transactions using the Flexfield.
Value Validation: It performs Validation like Table Dependant, Independant etc.,
<b>Who has to do it:</b> Initially whoever performs the set up does this activity and it is not modifiable usually once it is set.
<b>When it is Done:</b> During the initial set up of Modules as for as Key Flexfield are concerned
and for Descriptive Flexfield also
<b>Where it is Done:</b> It is done during the set up of modules for both Key Flexfield as well as Descriptive Flexfield
<b>How it is Done:</b> This has to be Done in the Application only Manually and not through a Dataloading scripts., etc.,
<b>Note: </b> Most of the time in Interviews, when the Interviewer ask consultants, what are two types of Validation for Flexfields, then many consultants use to say Cross Validation and Security Validation which is not correct. The correct answer is as explained above.
All members whoever wants to share Knowledge about particular functionality are requested to follow this Format and address one functionality in one issue and Do not combine issues.
Members are expected to Contribute more to this based on their Knowledge gained in various Implementation Experience which will help others
Hope You find it useful and looking forward your valuable Contributions
