Add Data to Descriptive Flexfields on the Material Transactions Page Using REST API

Use the segments of the Inventory Material Transaction history descriptive flexfield (DFF) to record data while performing material transactions using the Maintenance Work Order Material Transactions REST resource. To use these DFF segments while executing your material transaction REST payloads, you first need to set up your descriptive flexfield segments for transaction history, and then deploy your flexfields.

This image of the Manage Descriptive Flexfields page shows the INV_MATERIAL_TXNS segments that are enabled for the MaterialTransactionDFF REST parameter.

Edit Descriptive Flexfield Section of the Manage Descriptive Flexfield Page

This image shows the new MaterialTransactionDFF parameter in the REST payload. Use this parameter to include values for the descriptive flexfield segments in the payload.

Material Transaction REST Payload Sample

This update lets you include the material transaction history as part of your Maintenance Work Order Material Transactions REST resource payload, leading to greater efficiency and visibility.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides to leverage (available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > APIs & Schema). If you are new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.
