Step 1- Unfreeze Flexfield Definition

Responsibility: General Ledger Super User
Navigation: Setup > Financials > Flexfields > Key > Segments

Uncheck Freeze Flexfield Definition.

Step 2- Modify segment values on the segment value form

Follow the steps described in previous Step 4 - Add Segment Values to navigate to the Segment Values form. Query the values. Make the necessary changes.

Note: you cannot change or delete the segment value itself. You can change the description, enabled flag, end date, etc.

If you cannot make changes after you unchecked "Freeze Flexfield Definition", then there are other flexfield structures using the same value set, which are still frozen. Document 1015950.6 contains scripts to find the flexfields that use the value set.
