55. How Does Setup Import Manage Data?
•If a record exists in the configuration package, but does not exist in the target,
then the import creates the record.
•If a record does not exist in the configuration, but exists in the target, then the
import does nothing to the record.
•If a record exists in both the configuration package and the target, then:
–If all attribute values are the same in both, the import does nothing to the
record.
–If any attribute values of the record are different, the import updates the record
in the target with the values in the configuration package.

57. Create a Comparison for an Offering or Functional
Areas
Set up data comparisons to identify the differences between the setup data of two
configuration packages, or two different versions of the same configuration
package.
•Use a comparison to learn how data for a given implementation has changed
over time
•Review a comparison to identify the differences among one or multiple business
objects relevant to a configuration

58. Import an Offering or a Functional Area

88. Overview of Calendars
Calendars (schedules) are defined by:
•Start dates
•End dates
•Shifts
•Sequence of workday patterns
A calendar can also contain exception
dates that override the availability of
resources to which the calendar is
assigned.
Calendars consist of several components:

89. Calendar Features
Calendars are global and shared.
•Calendars may be assigned to any business object.
•Exceptions made to a calendar affect every object.
Calendars are time agnostic.
•The start and end times for a workday are for the business object that uses it.
•A warehouse in New York and another in Dublin can share the same calendar
start and end times.
•Working time is local to the assigned business object.
•An existing schedule can be extended by providing a new end date further in the
future.

•Inventory and Item Organizations
•Units of Measure, Classes, and Conversions
•Calendar Features, Uses, and Best Practices
•Flexfields, Flexfield Segments, and Value Sets
•Predefined Key Flexfields in Oracle Cloud SCM

94. Overview of Flexfields
A flexfield: 
•Provides a means to define application features without detailed programming
•Extends a business object with additional data fields to capture additional
information   
•Consists of segments representing different data or values
•Stores data in database table columns, one for each segment
•Displays to end users as attributes of information
The available types of flexfields are Descriptive flexfields, Extensible flexfields, and
Key flexfields.

95. Descriptive Flexfield
Flexfield Type Description Examples
Descriptive flexfield Optional, modifiable expansion
space in the user interface for
additional information that would
not otherwise be captured
•Additional information about a
stocking location such as the type
of stocking location (i.e.
warehouse, stockroom,
production, etc.), links to facilities
management teams, etc.
•Tracking additional details against
any type of transactional
document (i.e. shipment, receipt,
misc. transaction) that are
important to your business

96. Extensible Flexfield
Flexfield Type Description Examples
Extensible flexfield Similar to descriptive flexfields,
but with advanced capacities, such
as categories
Voltage may be modeled on an
item to allow checks for
compatibility when ordering
replacement parts.

97. Key Flexfield
Flexfield Type Description Examples
Key flexfield Mandatory key for identifying
business entities
Defined code scheme that does
not require programming, and
where segments can represent a
characteristic of the entity
•User-friendly cross-reference to
an accounting string
•Composite key that identifies an
aisle, row, rack, shelf in a stocking
location

100. Flexfield Segments
Flexfield segments:
•Represent attributes of entities (business objects)
•Can appear:
–Based on a structure or context
–Globally wherever the flexfield is implemented  
•Can be made available to an application as groups of attributes called contexts
•Can be assigned a value set that determines which values are valid for the
segment

101. Value Sets
A value set is:
•A set of valid values assigned to a flexfield segment, or other entity outside of
flexfields
•The basis of validation for a value entered into a flexfield segment by an end user
•Defined before configuring the key flexfield, because you assign value sets to
each segment as you configure the key flexfield

103. Value Sets
The types of validation are:
Validation TypesDescription
Format only End users enter data rather than selecting values from a list.
Independent The list of values consists of valid values that you specify.
Dependent
A valid value in a list of values derives from the independent value of another
segment.
Subset The list of values is a subset of the values in an existing independent value set.
Table
The values derive from a column in an application table, which can optionally
be limited by a WHERE clause.
