AlwaysCalculateStructures attribute definitions
This attribute allows you to define whether the module's registration structures will be calculated in the budget, listing, and order.
With a value of True, the structures registered in the module, in the Main tab in Structures, will be calculated in the budget regardless of whether the parent entity of the structures is budgeted or not (Calculated attribute).
When registering this attribute, its default configuration defines that it is created automatically (in a hidden way) for all entities (Automatic Creation property) with a default value of True (that is, all modules that have registered structures will have their structures calculated, regardless of whether the parent entity is budgeted (Calculated attribute). If it is necessary to define that the structures of an item that is not budgeted should also not be budgeted, it is necessary to apply the attribute in the module and change its value to False.
Example:
Any modules that have associated structures in their register through the Main - Structures tab, whose structures should not be calculated in the budget.
Through the images below it is possible to see, in the image at the top, that an entity with associated structures, even with the Calculated attribute with a False value, ends up being listed in the budget due to the AlwaysCalculateStructures attribute being with its default value True. In the image at the bottom, when applying the AlwaysCalculateStructures attribute with a value of False, the entity is no longer listed in the budget.
