Overview
If you created a flexfield that you no longer want to use or report against, you can disable the flexfield as BI-enabled.
There may be times, such as during development phases, when you try using a flexfield and later determine it is no longer needed.
If you are considering disabling flexfields, keep in mind that any flexfields created in Oracle Applications Cloud must be designated as BI-enabled to be exposed in Transactional Business Intelligence. If you disable a flexfield, it cannot be deployed. Also, error conditions may occur if you disable a descriptive flexfield that has been implemented in BI Applications.
If error conditions arise from disabling flexfields as BI-enabled, troubleshooting the errors can be difficult and time-consuming.
