How You Manage Asset Flexfields

Your Installed Base Asset object is enabled for flexfields, so you can manage additional details of an asset. Flexfields are defined during the implementation of Oracle Maintenance, but can be further defined and deployed once assets are created.

For an asset, these are the numbers of additional attribute fields available:

• Character: 30

• Number: 10

• Date: 5

• Date and Time: 5

You can manage the flexfields in the Additional Information show/hide region of the Overview tab in the Edit Asset page. You can view and edit the field values, including conditional fields guided by a context segment. You can also define, view and update the flexfields using the Installed Base Asset REST API and File-Based Data Import.

For additional details about flexfields, refer to the Configuring and Extending Applications guide of Oracle Applications Cloud.

Note:

• If you need additional fields, use Application Composer to extend the Asset: Overview tab. For more details, refer to the details can be found in the Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide or in the Configuring Applications Using Application Composer guide.

• When you define flexfields, you can enable them for Business Intelligence. When creating a flexfield segment, select the BI Enabled check box under the Business Intelligence section. When a flexfield is deployed, run the Import Oracle Fusion Data Extensions for Transactional Business Intelligence scheduled process while selecting the CRM parameter check box. This will import the flexfields into Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI).
