Identify two features of a Descriptive Flexfield. (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AIt does not have a structure.
• BIt enables you to build "intelligent keys."
• CIt appears as a normal field on a form without any brackets.
• DIt enables you to implement context-sensitive fields that appear only when needed.
• EIt enables you to capture additional information in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 without

• A
  13% (4)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  81% (25)

Explanation

D and E are correct because Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs) serve two core purposes: they allow context-sensitive fields to appear conditionally based on other field values (D), and they let organizations capture additional data not stored in standard Oracle E-Business Suite tables without customizing the application code (E - the answer is cut off but completes as "without modifying the application code").

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is false - DFFs do have a structure; they have segments and can have multiple contexts defined.
• B describes a Key Flexfield (KFF), not a DFF - KFFs are used to build intelligent, structured keys like Account codes or Item numbers.
• C is the opposite of correct - DFFs appear as fields with square brackets [ ] on a form, which is how you visually identify them; it's KFFs that appear as a single field with a special structure indicator.

Memory tip: Think Descriptive = Dynamic (context-sensitive, shows/hides fields) + Data extension (captures extra info). If you see square brackets on a form, that's your DFF signal. Associate "intelligent keys" exclusively with Key Flexfields - the K stands for the structured Key it builds.
