In this blog I will explain how to add a DFF to a existing OAF page through personalization.I am using Supplier Quick Update Page ( /oracle/apps/pos/supplier/webui/SuppSummPG ).
If you want to see how to create DFF please click here.
In this scenario I am using a custom DFF. Following are the details.
Application -> Payables ( Code: SQLAP )
Name -> XXCUST_SUPPLIER_DFF
Title -> XXCUST - Supplier DFF
Table Name -> AP_SUPPLIERS
DFV View name -> XXCUST_SUPPLIER_DFV
Reference Fields -> ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY
Following are the Context Field Details.
Prompt -> Supplier Type
Value Set -> XXCUST_SUP_TYPE ( Values : External and Internal )
Reference Field -> ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY
Below table shows the segment details of XXCUST_SUPPLIER_DFF.
| Code | Segments | Column | Value Set | 
| Global Data Elements | Identification Number | ATTRIBUTE1 | 15 Characters | 
| External | Type | ATTRIBUTE2 | XXCUST_EXT_SUP_TYPE Values           Domestic  International | 
| Internal | Department | ATTRIBUTE2 | 15 Characters | 
Following steps you need to perform to create flex item in the Quick Update page.
1) Click on Personalize Page.In the Personalize Page click on Complete View.
2) Click on Create Item.( Based on where you want to place the DFF choose appropriate layout).
3) Create flex item with following details.
4) If you want to arrange the item in the page click on Reorder.
Following is the output.
