How You Use Descriptive Segments With Requisition Parameters

You can use descriptive flexfields to extend the requisition header, line, and distribution to meet your business needs.

Flexfields help you create and configure attributes to save additional data with your requisition. A segment is a field within a descriptive flexfield that represents an information attribute that can be displayed on Oracle Self Service Procurement pages. You can allow users to enter values into segments while using the application. In addition, you can configure segments with a value set that ensures your users only see and select valid values for a descriptive flexfield segment within the context of a requisition.

The requisition line descriptive flexfield supports parameters that provide run-time requisition line values for descriptive flexfield validation. As a Procurement administrator, you can define value sets with logic to derive values based on requisition parameters.

This table shows requisition line attributes enabled as flexfield parameters, and the syntax to be used in the value set logic.
