1.2 Scope of the Field

While defining a new user defined field, you need to specify whether the new field has to be used at the product or maintenance level. The scope or usage of the field that is being defined can be specified as Usage Allowed.

• If the new field that is being defined has to be used at the product level, select usage as Product.
• If the new field is to be used in any of the maintenance screens (screens related to Core Maintenance like Currency Definition screen, Customer Accounts maintenance screen , and so on), select usage as Function Id.

Note:

In Oracle Lending, every screen has a unique function Id. However to differentiate between product and maintenance levels, the scope of a user defined has been classified as Product and Function Id.

If the new field that is being defined is for a maintenance screen (Usage Allowed is Function Id), you can specify the function Id of the screen in which the new field has to be used. This has to be indicated in the Function Id field. Click on the option list positioned next to this field. The function Ids of all the maintenance screens are displayed. Select the appropriate function Id.

For example, if you want to use the new field in the Chart Of Accounts - Detailed screen, select the Function Id GLDCHACT, thus allowing the usage of the field in the Chart of accounts screen only.

Note:

If you want the Field to be made available for all the Functions, you have to leave it blank.
