combinations table to have a single–column index. You should create indexes for segments you expect to have many distinct values (instead of just a few distinct values). • You must enter a value set in the Value Set field for each segment of the Accounting Flexfield. Value sets for the Accounting Flexfield must be independent, table, or dependent–type value sets.

See: Oracle Applications Localizations Post–Install Manual. 5. Define the natural account segment.
