Modifying a List

You define new values or delete existing values in a list by editing the data in the form that stores the source of values for the list. Consult the reference guide for your Oracle Applications product to identify the form that contains the source of values for a specific list.

For example, in your Oracle General Ledger application, the list of values that appears in the Source field of the Suspense Accounts form come from the journal source values entered in the Journal Sources form.

Applying Standards to a List

To take full advantage of all Oracle Applications features, including a list of values, remember the importance of standards. For example, you should follow consistent, helpful naming conventions when you enter a value in a "list source" field. Where possible, use source values whose initial letters are unique to best take advantage of Power list. Similarly, develop names with memorable key words or groups of characters to help simplify your search through a list window.
