Masking Data
Assume you need to display your own postal code on the order header, the postal code has seven digits, and you need to use an extensible flexfield to do it because these postal codes aren't part of Order Management's predefined data. The data contains sensitive information, so you also want to use asterisks to mask the value except for the last two characters. For example, the user enters 5674577, and you want to mask that value to *****77.
Note that you can't mask data in a value set in Order Management, but we can still meet the rest of your requirement. Here's how:
- Go to the Setup and Maintenance work area, then go to the task:
- Offering: Order Management
- Functional Area: Orders
- Task: Manage SCM Common Value Sets
- On the Manage SCM Common Value Sets page, click Actions >
Create, then set the values.
Attribute Value Value Set Code My Postal Codes Module Common Validation Type Format Only Value Data Type Character Value Subtype Text Maximum Length 7 Setup varies for different types of value sets. For details, see Set Attribute Values Before You Transform Source Orders.
- Create an extensible flexfield, then set the Value Set attribute on your flexfield segment to My Postal Codes. For details, see Overview of Using Extensible Flexfields in Order Management.
