Thanks for the feedback, Stefan. I have rephrased the sentence as follows. Is that more clear ? "For example, this formula is fed to the library to define the total amount of each Order object as the sum of the amount of its order line: "Order.amount = sum(Order.order_lines.amount) "At the end of a transaction, the formula calculator is run : it will calculate the formula only for the Order objects that need recalculation (e.g because one of its order line has been added or deleted, or the amount of a line has been changed).
