Calculating fields can be added to every order row, or for every order & opportunity.

The difference being, when adding a calculating field to an order row this will make a calculation for every row. When creating a calculating field on order & opportunity this will show in the bottom of every order & opportunity.

A Calculating Field can calculate variables from other custom fields such as Integer, Select, Currency, and Percent.
