Category Descriptive Flexfields
Descriptive flexfields are available at the category level. You can define category attributes in all those catalogs that use attributes.
For example, a customer wants to add attributes to the category to identify the packaging types for the items assigned to the category. An attribute called Packaging Type is created as a descriptive flexfield for the catalog. The values for this flexfield indicate what the packaging type is, such as a box or a case.
You create descriptive flexfields using the Manage Category 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.
