Use Descriptive Flexfields for Recall Notices

You can now enter additional attributes for a recall notice and its corresponding lines using descriptive flex-fields (DFF) while manually creating the recall notices through the user interface. These can be either context-sensitive flexfields or global flexfields.

You can also define business rules using DFF to hide an attribute, make an attribute a required field, or default a value in a flexfield based on another flexfield value.

DFFs can be captured even while creating the recall notices through Recall Notices V2 Rest API.

  • Enables you to capture additional business data that is not available in standard Oracle fields, which in turn supports business-specific requirements like tracking region-specific compliance info, internal classifications, etc.
  • Fields can be added or updated quickly as business needs evolve, eliminating the need for extensive development.
  • Additional data captured via DFFs can be used in reports and dashboards. This helps improve decision-making by providing richer data sets.
  • DFFs allow storing additional information required for integrations with external systems and facilitate smoother data exchange across systems.
