+In Business Central, `SetAutoCalcFields` is an essential method for optimizing the retrieval of calculated fields, such as FlowFields. Without `SetAutoCalcFields`, FlowFields require explicit calculation via `CalcFields`, which adds performance overhead. By automatically computing FlowFields upon retrieval, `SetAutoCalcFields` reduces unnecessary calls and improves efficiency when reading FlowFields from multiple records in a loop.
+
+See the documentation on learn.microsoft.com for more information about [SetAutoCalcFields](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/record/record-setautocalcfields-method).

+Starting in Business Central 2025 release wave 1, the SetAutoCalcFields is also available on the RecordRef data type.

+
+## Why Use SetAutoCalcFields?
+
+Using `SetAutoCalcFields` ensures that FlowFields are computed automatically when retrieving a record, eliminating the need for additional `CalcFields` calls for each record.
+
+## General Guidelines for SetAutoCalcFields
+
+- Use `SetAutoCalcFields` before retrieving records (`FindSet`, `Find('-')`, etc.) when FlowFields need to be accessed.
+- Avoid redundant `CalcFields` calls if `SetAutoCalcFields` has already been used.
+
+
+## Examples
+### Bad Code
+
+```AL
+Customer.SetFilter(Balance, '>%1' , LargeCredit);   
+if Customer.FindSet() then 
+    repeat  
+        Customer.CalcFields(Balance);  
+        if Customer.Balance > MaxCreditLimit then begin   
+            Customer.Blocked := true;   
+            Customer.Modify();   
+        end else 
+            if Customer.Balance > LargeCredit then begin   
+                Customer.Caution := true;   
+                Customer.Modify();   
+            end;   
+    until Customer.Next() = 0;
+```
+
+In this example, an extra call to `CalcFields` still must be issued for the code to be able to check the value of `Customer.Balance`. You can optimize this further by using the new `SetAutoCalcFields` method.
+
+### Good code
+
+```AL
+Customer.SetFilter(Balance, '>%1', LargeCredit);   
+Customer.SetAutoCalcFields(Balance)   
+if Customer.FindSet() then 
+    repeat   
+        if Customer.Balance > MaxCreditLimit then begin   
+            Customer.Blocked := true;   
+            Customer.Modify();   
+        end else 
+            if Customer.Balance > LargeCredit then begin   
+                Customer.Caution := true;   
+                Customer.Modify();   
+            end;   
+    until Customer.Next() = 0;
+```
