Logical Attributes for Smart Calculations 🧠
Storing redundant data in your database can lead to performance issues, extra storage use, and increased maintenance efforts. Instead, leverage Logical Attributes in IDF to dynamically compute values rather than storing them.

🔹 Example: Instead of storing On Hand Balance as a static field, create a Logical Attribute:
đź“Ś On Hand Balance = Adjustments - Issues + Opening Balance + Receipts

Why Use Logical  Read more...Attributes?
✅ Real-time updates – Automatically recalculates when data changes, reducing manual corrections.
✅ Saves database space – Eliminates unnecessary storage of derived values.
✅ Simplifies maintenance – No need to update multiple records when transactions are processed.

đź’ˇ Use Case: If a warehouse receives inventory or processes returns (Receipts & Adjustments), or if goods are issued out (Issues), the On Hand Balance updates dynamically, ensuring accurate stock visibility without manual intervention.

🚀 Implementing Logical Attributes optimizes performance, reduces errors, and ensures accurate data across all IDF objects.
