Definition

Indicates that the value of the relevant field was changed not directly by the user, but automatically by the system as a result of another change made elsewhere.

Use

Dependencies

If you cancel a direct change, the system adjusts the dependent fields. That is to say, any consequential changes are automatically cancelled.

Example

You changed the delivery date in a requisition item. As a result of this change, the system automatically adjusts the release date in the item.

If you now cancel the change you made to the delivery date (i.e. restore the original date, the release date will automatically be readjusted accordingly.
