Insert Local Calculation Element

Local calculation elements are those calculation elements that have no link to the master data. You create local calculation elements by creating them directly in the calculation or by copying and pasting them as copies of global templates.

In the ribbon, you can insert local calculation elements directly into the calculation structure or by copying and pasting (as a copy) global templates, depending on the insertion position using the Edit Tab.
