Actual Behaivor
Customer has setup segments for 2 DFFs in inventory - Maintain Lot Attributes and Lot Attributes.

While Maintain Lot attributes shows up in all the forms with lots and opens up, the Lot Attributes Descriptive Flexfield (DFF) does not show or display anything when clicked in the Attributes field in the Item Lot form of Inventory.

  Lot and serial attributes are supported when you license Oracle Warehouse
  Management; however, the lot and serial attribute functionality may be
  implemented for both Oracle Warehouse Management enabled inventory
  organizations and inventory organizations that are not Oracle Warehouse Management enabled.
  Oracle Warehouse Management supports forms and APIs to populate, maintain,
  and use the lot and serial attributes.

  R12.1
  Attribute Functionality
  Oracle Warehouse Management supports forms and APIs to populate, maintain,
  and use the lot and serial attributes.
