Calculated Fields and Integration Objects

Calculated fields are inactive in an integration object when it is created. They are inactive for the following reasons:

• Performing calculations on fields requires extra processing time.
• If the calculated field is based on a field that is not included in the integration object, then errors might arise when the calculated field is updated but the field used for the calculation is not.

If your business needs require it, activate the calculated fields in integration objects.

NOTE:  Calculated fields are those integration component fields that have the Calculated flag checked on the corresponding business component field.
