General Ledger Interview Questions in R12

1) Can a flexfield qualifier be changed after it has been created?

Ans: No.

Once a segment qualifier has been designated for a specific segment and has been saved, it will
permanently have the attributes with that qualifier. For example, you accidentally designate the cost center segment
as the natural account segment. Even though you do not compile this, the system saves the changes. And once it has
been saved, it will have all the attributes designated for the natural account qualifier, even after it has been changed
back, resaved with the correct qualifier and compiled. This is the inherent functionality of the software.
Unfortunately, there is no real easy solution for this issue. The only option is to create a new chart of accounts and
attach a new set of books.

2) How to delete a segment value?

Ans:

There is no supported way to delete a segment value. Segment values can only be disabled not deleted.

3) Is there a way to load values for a specific segment outside of the form?
Ans:

iSetup is the Oracle product that provides supported APIs to load values into Oracle Applications flexfields. To
load code combinations ADI may be used. Uploading zero amount journals will create new code combinations. In
this case Dynamic Insertion should be enabled and all account segment values need to exist before the new account
code combinations will be dynamically created.
