Prerequisites

   Set up your key flexfield structure. See: Key Flexfield Segments Window.

   Define valid segment values for your structure. See: Segment Values Window.

   To enable shorthand entry:

1. Navigate to the Shorthand Aliases window.

2. Select the name and structure of the key flexfield for which you want to enable shorthand entry.

3. Check the Enabled check box in the Shorthand region.

4. Enter a prompt for the shorthand window.

5. Enter the maximum alias size, which determines the maximum length of your shorthand aliases.

6. Save your changes.

On a user-by-user basis, you can enable or disable shorthand flexfield entry for yourself (for all key flexfields that use it) by setting your user profile option Flexfield: Shorthand Entry to an appropriate value. Your System Administrator can set this profile option at other levels (such as for a responsibility).

However, in some forms, such as forms where you define new key flexfield combinations (combinations forms), you do not see the shorthand window even if shorthand entry is enabled. For example, you cannot use shorthand entry in the Oracle General Ledger Define Accounting Flexfield Combinations form. See: Disabling or Enabling a Shorthand Alias.
