Supplier Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs) are shared between the Edit Supplier page (accessed from Suppliers workarea), Company Profile page (accessed from Supplier Portal) and Supplier Registration pages.

Supplier DFFs can be configured via Manage Supplier Descriptive Flexfields or the Manage Supplier Registration Descriptive Flexfields setup task. Both these tasks point to same DFF entity and the DFFs are shared between these flows.

This topic explains how these common DFFs can be made visible in one flow (say Edit Supplier) and kept hidden in another flow (say External Supplier Registration).
