Explanation:
A: Most organizations use “codes” made up of meaningful segments (intelligent
keys) to
identify general ledger accounts, part numbers, and other business entities. Each
segment of the code can represent a characteristic of the entity.Although these codes
represent the same part, they each have a different segment structure that is meaningful
only to the organization using those codes.
The Oracle Applications store these “codes” in key flexfields. Key flexfields are flexible
enough to let any organization use the code scheme they want, without programming.
D: Descriptive flexfields provide customizable “expansion space” on your forms. You can
use descriptive flexfields to track additional information, important and unique to your
business, that would not otherwise be captured by the form.
