-## Implementation Notes
-
-**Field Selection Principles:**
-- Always include SystemId for unique identification
-- Include business keys (No., Code) for integration
-- Select fields based on API purpose (CRUD vs reporting)
-- Consider performance impact of calculated fields
-- Group related fields together logically
-
-**Validation and Business Logic:**
-- Implement field-level validation in triggers
-- Use NotBlank for required fields
-- Handle complex validations in OnValidate triggers
-- Consider API-specific validation rules
-
-**Performance Considerations:**
-- Avoid FlowFields in high-volume scenarios
-- Calculate complex fields only when needed
-- Use appropriate field visibility to reduce payload
-- Consider caching calculated values
-
-**Security and Permissions:**
-- Hide sensitive fields based on user permissions
-- Implement field-level security as needed
-- Consider data classification requirements
-- Validate user access to restricted information
