The Applications Dictionary is used at runtime and it is context-sensitive. Ex: AD ‘knows’ that payment terms are not meant for ‘over-the-counter sales.’ So, payment term fields are not shown or editable in over-the-counter sales transactions. If the transaction type is changed as ‘standard order’, payment terms become a mandatory part of the transaction.
