Patent ID: 8359335

Claim:
A computing system, comprising: a memory storing an application comprising: a first module configured to concurrently present first and second fields, wherein the first and second fields are among three or more fields, the first module is further configured to receive a first field entry from the first field, and the first module is further configured to receive a second field entry from the second field; and a second module configured to transmit the first field entry to a separate system in response to determining that meta-data indicates a dependency between the first and second fields, wherein the second module is configured to transmit the first field entry after the first module receives the first record-field entry but before the first module receives the second field entry, the second module is further configured to receive an update to the second field entry from the separate system, and the updated second field entry is presented by the first module in the second field, the first and second fields are comprised in a business object, the business object comprises the three or more fields, the meta-data indicates one or more dependencies between the three or more fields of the business object, the three or more fields comprise a first subset of fields that comprise the first and second record fields, the three or more fields further comprise a second subset of fields, the one or more dependencies indicate the dependency between the the first and second fields in the first subset of fields, and the one or more dependencies further indicate no dependencies between fields in the second subset of fields.
