Active The record is active in the system There are two methods of making records unavailable in the system: One is to delete the record, the other is to de-activate the record. A de-activated record is not available for selection, but available for reports.

There are two reasons for de-activating and not deleting records: (1) The system requires the record for audit purposes. (2) The record is referenced by other records. E.g., you cannot delete a Business Partner, if there are invoices for this partner record existing. You de-activate the Business Partner and prevent that this record is used for future entries.

Column SQL Virtual Column (r/o) You can define virtual columns (not stored in the database). If defined, the Column name is the synonym of the SQL expression defined here. The SQL expression must be valid.

Example: "Updated-Created" would list the age of the entry in days.
It is not recommended to add complex queries in virtual columns as the impact on the database performance can be too expensive.
However, you can use the prefix @SQLFIND= for virtual columns that can be used for queries and reports, they have less impact on the database, but as a field they don't show values.
Additionally, the prefix @SQL= allows to define a virtual UI column, this is calculated on the fly and can use context variables in the query, virtual UI columns are shown in grid just on the current row, they are not searchable, and not shown in reports.

Active The record is active in the system There are two methods of making records unavailable in the system: One is to delete the record, the other is to de-activate the record. A de-activated record is not available for selection, but available for reports.

There are two reasons for de-activating and not deleting records: (1) The system requires the record for audit purposes. (2) The record is referenced by other records. E.g., you cannot delete a Business Partner, if there are invoices for this partner record existing. You de-activate the Business Partner and prevent that this record is used for future entries.
