Extensible Flexfields in Business Objects

Understand how extensible flexfields are represented and organized within business objects.

An extensible flexfield is modeled as a separate business object with a generated view that can be extracted using the Data Extraction tool.

Because extensible flexfields support complex hierarchical structures, a single implementation can generate many additional views. In some cases, an implementation can contain hundreds of generated views based on extensible flexfield configurations.

To simplify navigation, these generated views are organized into subgroup nodes within the business object hierarchy. This grouping enables you to to easily locate extensible flexfield views by functional type.
