Correct Answer:
B. The value description can be changed.; C. The effective dates for a value can be limited.; E. The values cannot be modified after they are defined.
Explanation

In Oracle E-Business Suite you may edit certain attributes of an existing key flexfield value. You can always change the description and limit the value’s availability by altering its start/end effective dates. The value code itself, however, is frozen once you save it; Oracle prevents any subsequent modification to the value column to protect data integrity. Therefore, while attributes are editable, the actual value cannot be changed, hence statement E is also true.

Why Incorrect

A. Values can be disabled via the Enabled check box; therefore statement is false.
D. Oracle prohibits deletion of a saved value; you must disable it instead.
