Adding a DFF to an OA Framework Page

iProcurement is used as an example in this blog.

Here are the steps to enable DFF's on OAF pages. You can do this for any OAF page in Oracle Apps R12.

Start by adding a DFF to Create Purchase Order page in Buyer Work Center. First we need to define the DFF. The steps are as follows:
1. Create a new Value Set.
2. Define Values for the value set created in step 1.
3. Add Value Set to the Flex Field Segment in Application: Purchasing and Title: PO Headers.
4. Freeze and Compile the FlexField definition.

Enable this DFF in Buyer Work Center. the steps are as follows:
1. Enable profile Personalize Self-Service Defn to yes at the user level.
2. Click Personalize Page at the top of the Create Purchase Order page.
3. Look for Flex: (HeaderRN.DescFlexfields)
4. Click Edit (Pencil)
5. Chang Rendered from false to true
6. Click Apply
7. Click Return to Application

One more example: Add DFF to iProcurement Requisition header in the same way. Define a DFF again:
1. Create a new Value Set.
2. Define Values for the value set created in step 1.
3. Add Value Set to the Flex Field Segment in Application: Purchasing and Title: ReqExpress Headers.
4. Freeze and Compile the FlexField definition.

Enable DFF in IProc HTML pages are as follows:
1. Enable profile Personalize Self-Service Defn to yes at the user level
2. Log in to iProcurement
3. Go to Checkout: Requisition Information page
4. Click Personalize Page at the top of the page
5. Look for Flex: (ReqHeaderDFF)
6. Click Edit (Pencil)
7. Change Rendered from false to true. Click Apply
8. Click Return to Application
