Descriptive Flexfields (DFF’s)

 
AR Invoice API Wizard allows you to upload Descriptive Flexfield information (if configured) for:
 
Invoice                     (Transaction Information)
Interface Invoice        (Invoice Transaction Flexfield)
Line                          (Invoice Line Information)
Interface Lines           (Line Transaction Flexfield)
Sales Credit               (Sales Representative Line Information)
Distribution               (Line Distribution Information)
 
The flexfield icons are available on the product ribbon as a dropdown list, when the “(…) Dffs” button is clicked, or within the forms, or when double clicking in the applicable DFF section on the sheet.
 
IMPORTANT - Invoice Transaction Flexfield and Line Transaction Flexfield
 
The API does not use the Invoice Transaction and Line Transaction Flexfield mapping to group invoice lines into invoices. This grouping is achieved directly in the Wizard where lines are associated with invoice headers.
 
However the combination of this information is still used by the API to ensure duplicate invoices are not created in Receivables. If you attempt to upload a transaction with identical Line Transaction Flexfield values to an existing Receivables transaction, it will fail with an error message similar to this:
 
Error in Lines: The entered descriptive flexfield already exists. Please enter a unique flexfield combination. INVALID_VALUE:RA_INTERFACE_LINES [row 17]
 
Use these transaction flexfields for importing additional data into Receivables for reporting and analysis purposes.
 
The DFF functionality is common to all our tools.
