Define Items Flexfield

Navigation: Setup --> Flexfields --> Key --> Segments                      Next: Define Item Categories Flexfield

Required 

You use the System Items Flexfield (also called the Item Flexfield) for recording and reporting your item information. You must design and configure your System Items Flexfield before you can  start defining items. You must indicate

• How many separate segments your flexfield has
• How many characters each segment has
• Whether you want to validate the values that you assign to the segments. 

Once you define the structure of your flexfield and any applicable value sets, you must freeze and compile your flexfield definition. All Oracle Applications products that reference items share the System Items Flexfield and support multiple segment implementations.

You must set up your OE: Item Flexfield profile option to specify the Item Flexfield
structure that you will use for your Oracle applications. Users can also set up the OE: Item Flexfield Entry Method profile option to specify your preferred method of entry for this flexfield.

You can optionally use the item flexfield to default item information for invoice, debit memo, and credit memo lines or you can enter your own line information.
