Columns
Field
The Field identifies a field on a database table.
- Physical column name: AD_Field_ID
- Property Name: id
- Reference: ID
Client
- Physical column name: AD_Client_ID
- Property Name: client
- Reference: TableDir
- Default value: @AD_CLIENT_ID@
Foreign key column to AD_Client table, (column: AD_Client_ID)

Organization
- Physical column name: AD_Org_ID
- Property Name: organization

Active
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 reporting. There are two reasons for de-activating and not deleting records:
(1) The system requires the record for auditing purposes.
(2) The record is referenced by other records. E.g., you cannot delete a Business Partner, if there are existing invoices for it. By de-activating the Business Partner you prevent it from being used in future transactions.
