Hi, Thanks for the wonderful insight into the special and pair validation. I'm trying to use a DFF at the Order Line in which I would need to enter a valid GL account. To allow the user to enter and validate the account I tried using the XLA_SRS_ACCOUNTING_FLEXFIELD which has the below FND POPIDR APPL_SHORT_NAME="SQLGL" CODE="GL#" NUM=:$FLEX$.XLA_SRS_CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS REQUIRED="Y" VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=":!VALUE" DESC=":!MEANING" NAVIGATE="!DIR" VDATE="" FND VALIDR APPL_SHORT_NAME="SQLGL" CODE="GL#" NUM=:$FLEX$.XLA_SRS_CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS VALIDATE="NONE" REQUIRED="Y" DESC=":!MEANING" SEG=":!VALUE" VDATE="" But when I compile the flexfield I get the following error. APP-FND-00798: Invalid reference XLA_SRS_CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS in value set attached to segment DEPARTMENT NUMBER Please check the WHERE clauses of your table validated value sets. Can you let me know what is the error due to or where am I going wrong. Any other suggestion to accomplish it.

Hi Aiyaz,

unfortunately your post was misplaced by the spamfilter. So the reply is a bit delayed.
I have to test if it is possible. The best option would be to add a (hidden) 13th parameter. This could use a special validation calling a pl/sql block. Or it could be defaulted with the concatenation of the first 12 parameters.

I will get back to you shortly.

Regards,

Arian

Your article was very helpful to me in creating the special value set.It will be better if you also include what occurs internally in oracle tables to fetch the KFF jus by giving NUM and Appl Short Name

Thanks Arian,

Your article was very useful to understand the concepts of Special validation set. I have implemented the special validation set functionality. In the Invoice lines I have included a field in the DFF which calls the accounting flexfields DFF(special validation set). When I save the transaction it stores the code combination id in the lines attribute column which is okay. But somehow it updates/overwrites the distribution line account also. I don't want this to happen.
Have you come across such a situation or show me some direction towards the solution
Appreciate your help
