FlexField
Easily change your accounting flexfields as often as your business changes.
Until now, Oracle Applications users have found it difficult and expensive to make changes once their accounting flexfields were initially configured. FlexField software restores flexibility to your Oracle E-Business Suite by easily allowing changes to your chart of accounts, which improves your business opportunities. Now, you can rapidly model and change your Oracle chart of accounts - without reimplementation.
- No lengthy downtime.
- No expensive consulting.
- No manual conversion of Excel spreadsheets.
- Protect your ERP investment.
- Expand you capabilities.
- Allow EBS to change as often as your business.

The Problems
EBS can be difficult and expensive to change after implementation. Yet change is necessary for any business to succeed. Some of the most common reasons that drive the need for changing charts of accounts include:
- Reorganization. Market forces push businesses to expand and contract services, products and human resources.
- Mergers and acquisitions. It is nearly impossible to align the charts of accounts for two companies, no matter how similar they may appear.
- Institutional and regulatory requirements. Companies often need to standardize their operations or comply with new regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
- Outgrowing the ranges in the current chart of accounts. Without FlexField software, businesses can find it difficult to track new business or write accurate reports. Growing businesses can exhaust the available values that were adequate during the original implementation.
Our Solution
FlexField software restores flexibility to EBS and includes additional features that increase accuracy.
You just define your new accounting flexfield and map your old flexfield to the new one. FlexField software recognizes the EBS constraints, translates the code-combination ID (CCID), and updates all transactions automatically.

Gartner - Advantages of a Single Chart of Accounts
John Van Decker, Research VP of Gartner, states:
"A single chart of accounts allows consistency in financial reporting across the enterprise by standardizing on common metrics and reporting structures, reduces dependencies on a separate financial consolidation system, and significantly reduces the costs incurred with ongoing, complex conversions and translations."
