Identify three features of a Value Set. (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• AValue Sets are mandatory.
• BValue Sets must contain a list of values.
• CValue Sets control the values for many report parameters.
• DThe same Value Set can be shared between different Flexfields.
• EA Value Set is a definition of the values approved for entry by a particular Flexfield Segment

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  89% (24)

Explanation

C, D, and E correctly describe core features of a Value Set in Oracle Applications (typically Oracle E-Business Suite or Fusion).

• (C) A single Value Set can govern the valid entries for multiple report parameters, making it reusable across different contexts - not just Flexfields.
• (D) Value Sets are designed for reuse; the same Value Set can be assigned to segments across different Flexfields (e.g., Key Flexfields and Descriptive Flexfields), reducing redundant setup.
• (E) This is essentially the definition of a Value Set - it acts as a validation rule that restricts what a user can enter into a Flexfield Segment.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• (A) Value Sets are not mandatory - a Flexfield Segment can be configured without one, allowing free-form entry.
• (B) Value Sets don't have to contain a list of values; they can validate by format (e.g., number, date, character length) without a predefined list - table-validated and independent Value Sets are common examples.

Memory tip: Think of a Value Set as a reusable rulebook - it defines what's allowed (E), can be shared across different Flexfields (D), and its reach extends beyond Flexfields to report parameters too (C). If it were mandatory or always list-based, it would be far less flexible, which contradicts its core purpose.
