Data dependency

The data in a record sometimes determines if user interface components, such as windows, tabs, and sections, are displayed. For example, the Nonstock section in Sales Order Inquiry-Line Detail is not displayed if the line item is not a nonstock item.

Data dependency does not affect individual fields.
