Hello. I hope someone can help.

Having trawled through the Personalisation / Personalization docs and read the forums I’ve had to post my query up here.

I need to add a LOV to the Suppliers Form (Purchasing Module) so that users are forced to choose from a LOV (Category Codes).

As we cannot change the underlying form and with me realising it can’t be done the way described using Descriptive Flexfields, Personalisation / Personalization is the only route left.

I’ve found the ideal text field to insert the Category Codes into is the
po_vendors.STANDARD_INDUSTRY_CLASS so I now need to find out from you clever people how I change a text field to LOV in ORACLE Financials. The only other relevant posting I found created the LOV using in JDeveloper before adding it which I don’t know how to do..

Many thanks for your time..

Usha,

I solved the problem by reverting back to using a Descriptive Flexfield which I found to be the most suitable, simple and easily maintainable method.
The category codes (ListOfVals) are stored in a newly created table ‘SU_CATEGORY_CODES’.
This table is then referred to in a new Value Set created which in turn is referred to in a new entry of the Descriptive Flexfield Segment for the relevant application all done in Systems Administrator of ORACLE Financials 11.5.10.

I hope this makes some sense.

regards

Steven

Steven,

That's a good idea. I probably would take the same route. Thanks for responding quickly.

Thanks.
