Catalog Descriptive Flexfields

Descriptive flexfields are available at the catalog level to allow the user to define attributes for catalogs.

For example, a customer wants to add attributes to the catalog to identify the usage of the catalog in their business process. An attribute called Usage is created as a descriptive flexfield for the catalog. The values are defined indicating what processes the catalog data is used in, such as new product development.

You create descriptive flexfields using the Manage Catalog Descriptive Flexfields task in the Setup and Maintenance work area> Product Management offering> Catalogs functional area.

Note: The Catalogs functional area is shared with other offerings as well. For example, the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management offering also uses the Catalogs functional area. If you have enabled multiple offerings, then any change in the setup tasks within the Catalogs functional area will reflect across all other offerings that use this task.
