Significance of cross validate segments

Explain the significance of cross validate segments.

Cross validation is just a simple validation rule applied on flex field combination which restricts every user to enter some invalid combinations. This is applicable to all the fields. Also we can maintain the close creation of the new key flex field combination and also maintaining a consistent and logical set of keyflex field combination as per the need of your organization. It also a cross validation rule defines whether a value of a particular segment can be combined with specific values of other segments.

Explain the significance of cross validate segments in the Key flexfield structure screen.

When a user finishes entering segment values in a flexfield popup window the flexfield checks whether the values make up a valid combination before updating the database. If the user entered an invalid combination a diagnostic error message appears and the cursor returns to the first segment assumed to contain an invalid value. It also a cross validation rule defines whether a value of a particular segment can be combined with specific values of other segments.
