Intelligent keys are associated with key flexfields. Intelligent keys are multi-part key values in which each part of the key contains meaningful information.

You use key flexfields to build the intelligent key required by Oracle Applications.

Examples of intelligent keys include the following:
Account Number
Asset Number
Job Code
Serial Number
