Question: What is value set?

Answer: It is a set of values

Question: Why do we need value sets?

Answer: You do not always want a user to enter junk free text into all the

elds. Hence !racle A""s uses value set to validate that correct data is

#ein$ entered in the elds in screen.

Question: Is value set attached to all the elds that re%uire validations?

Answer : A #i$ &!

Question: 'hen where lies the usa$e of value sets?

Answer: (roadly s"eakin$ value sets are attached to se$)ents in *lexelds.

You can ar$ue that value sets are also attached to "ara)eters of concurrent

"ro$ra)+#ut in reality oracle treats "ara)eters as ,escri"tive *lexelds-

Question: 'his is insane exelds haven/t #een covered in

htt":00$eta""strainin$.#lo$s"ot.co) as yet?

Answer: A$reed hence let/s restrict value set ex"lanation to their usa$e in

concurrent "ro$ra) "ara)eters.

Question: Any exa)"les?

Answer: *or the na)esake lets add a 1ara)eter to the concurrent "ro$ra)

that we dened in 23oncurrent 1ro$ra) 'rainin$ 4esson link5. 4ets add a

"ara)eter na)ed 2cost centre5 the values to this "ara)eter )ust #e

restricted to one of the three values i.e. H6 783 I'.

At the ti)e of su#)ission of the concurrent "ro$ra) the user should #e a#le

to "ick a cost centre fro) a list. 'his is where value set $ets used.

Hierarchical 7ecurity 9 Hierarchical security is ena#led. With hierarchical

security the features of value security and value hierarchies are co)#ined.

With this feature any security rule that a""lies to a "arent value also a""lies

to its child values

What is the si$nicance of cross validate se$)ents in the >ey exeld

@- 3ross validation rule "revents user to enter invalid se$)ent value

code co)#inations.

- create when you enter values for key exelds. A cross validation

rule denes whether a value of a "articular se$)ent can #e co)#ined

with s"ecic values of other se$)ents. 3ross validation is dierent fro)

se$)ent validation which controls the values you can enter for a

"articular se$)ent.When a user nishes enterin$ se$)ent values in a

exeld "o"u" window the exeld checks whether the values )ake u"

a valid co)#ination #efore u"datin$ the data#ase. If the user entered an

invalid co)#ination a dia$nostic error )essa$e a""ears and the cursor

returns to the rst se$)ent assu)ed to contain an invalid value



,yna)ic Insertion

,yna)ic insertion allows you to create a co)#ination of se$)ent values for a

key exeld without usin$ a co)#inations for). ,urin$ the i)"le)entation of a key exeld your or$ani=ation can either ex"licitly dene a list of valid

code co)#inations for the key exeld usin$ a co)#inations for) or allow

you to create valid co)#inations as you enter values in the key exeld for

the rst ti)e on a for) other than the co)#inations for). Your or$ani=ation

can also s"ecify cross9validation rules for a key exeld so that you can only

dene s"ecic code co)#inations durin$ dyna)ic insertion.

What is the difference between flexfield qualifier and segment qualifier?

Flexfiled qualifier identifies segement in a flexfield and segment qualifier identifies

value in a segment.

There are four types of flexfiled qualifier 1) Balancing segment qualifier 2) cost

center 3) natural account and 4) intercompnay

segemtn qualifier ! 1) allo" #udgeting 2) allo" posting 3) account type 4) contral

account and $) reconciliation flag
