As the name explains in Oracle KFF is a field which is flexible to be structured as per the requirement of the Business.

One has to know well about the KFF before building the system. KFF is a critical setup and many of them are irreversible.There are totally 38 KFF available acroos all Modules.

Key points to be noted in the KFF are as follows:

Which application does it belong to?

How many structure allowed?

Possibility of Dynamic insert

To be More clear about the Basic KFF for a functional consultant, lets move into some of the specific KFF and its application.

Application: Inventory

1) System Item flexfield
2) Item Categories
3) Item Catalogs
4) Sales Orders
5) Stock Locators
5) Account Aliases

Application: General Ledger

1) Accounting Flexfield
2) GL Ledger Flexfield ---> This is a additional KFF in R12
3) Reporting Attributes:Accountin

Application: Assets

1) Asset Key Flexfield
2) Category Flexfield
3) Location Flexfield

Application: Human Resources

2) Grade Flexfield
3) Job Flexfield
4) Position Flexfield

Application: Payroll

The Best place to drill down further is User guide pertaining to modules.

I have touched on flexfield concepts under Descriptive Flexfields tutorials.

In GL only accounting flexfield is used.
In AP there no key flexfields are used.
In FA we have asset key, asset category, asset location.
in AR we have sales tax location, territory.
In CM there no key flexfields are used.
