PROBLEM STATEMENT
How To Make Charge Account Segment Read Only ?

SOLUTION
With 11.5.10 and higher , a new profile called 'POR: Display Legacy Accounting Flex UI'. If this profile value is set to 'Yes,' the charge account will be displayed in separate segments.

In order to make certain segments read-only, the user can personalize the page. Below are the steps to achieve this: 1. Go to 'Requisition Information: Split Cost Allocation' Page (Account Tab) 2. Click on Personalize Page global button on top right of the page. 3. Find the item 'Flex: (ChargeAccountFlex)' and click on Edit/personalize(pencil) icon 4. Set the Segment List in the following format: OPERATIONS_ACCOUNTING_FLEX|Company|Department($RO)|Account|Sub-Account|Product Here in this example, OPERATIONS_ACCOUNTING_FLEX is the key flex structure code name. Company, Department, Account, Sub-Account, and Product are the segment names. To make a segment read-only, put ($RO) to the right of the segment name. In this example, Department will be displayed as read-only. If you then find the Charge Account segment instead being Read-Only, it Disappeared then append '($RO$)' at the end of the attribute name. -> see Note 456339.1 - What Is the Option For Context Flexfield If $PROFILES$.ORG_ID Is Not Available In iProcurement Additional information: The segments do NOT remain read only using "Apply this Cost Allocation information to all applicable requisition lines" checkbox. Per Product development making the segment read-only just means that user cannot edit it. The application will still copy over all segments. This is the current functionality. The above is valid for rel 12 also.

ATTENTION: If you are implementing the steps above in 11.5.10 and the segment is disappearing rather than actually becoming Read Only as desired, please review the following patches for possible application depending on your ATG family pack level: ATG CU 5: Patch 6518887 BACKPORT:5534803:HR FAMILY PACK K RUP 2:11.5.10.2:READONLY FIELD IN THE FLEXFIELD DISAPPEARING ATG CU 6: Patch 6708434 1OFF:5762547:11I.SCM_PF.J:11.5.10.6:SEGMENT VALUE NOT GETTING UPDATED TO SELECTE To confirm your ATG Family Pack Level - the following sql can be used: SELECT (bug_number), DECODE ((bug_number), '4017300', 'ATG CU 1', '4125550', 'ATG CU 2', '4334965', 'ATG CU 3', '4676589', 'ATG CU 4', '5473858', 'ATG CU 5', '5903765', 'ATG CU 6', '6241631', ATG CU 7') FROM ad_bugs WHERE bug_number IN ('4017300', '4125550', '4334965', '4676589', '5473858', '5903765' '6241631' ) ORDER BY bug_number DESC; Personalized the Charge Account segment to Read-Only, instead it Disappeared
