Calculated Entries allow the user to create entries the content
of which is based on a calculation formula. Calculated Entries are
often derived from other entries of the same record and the calculation
formula then contains the values of other entries (simply accessed by the entry name).
Typical applications are the preparation of IP21-data during import,
when for example one has to extract a month from a date, or the
calculation of some OEE-relevant values like the BDP runtime.
The resulting value is also stored in the database table, just like regular entries.
The value can be updated (recalculated) by calling “recalculate” from
the context menu (right mouse button) in any grid view.
