Which three statements are true about modifying flexfield values? (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• AThe values cannot be disabled.
• BThe value description can be changed.
• CThe effective dates for a value can be limited.
• DThe values can be deleted after they are defined.
• EThe values cannot be modified after they are defined.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  85% (28)
• D
  12% (4)

Explanation

Once a flexfield value is defined, the value code itself is locked (E), meaning you cannot alter the actual segment value - but you are not completely without options. The description associated with a value is considered metadata and remains editable (B), and you can limit its active period by setting or adjusting start/end effective dates (C), effectively retiring it without deleting it.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because values can be disabled - typically by setting an end date or unchecking an enabled flag.
• D is incorrect because values cannot be deleted once defined; the system preserves referential integrity by requiring you to disable or end-date them instead.

Memory tip: Think of a flexfield value like a published ISBN - the number itself (the value code) is permanent, but you can update the book's description, limit its availability window, or take it out of print (disable it). You just can't erase it from the catalog.
