Shield Platform Encryption

Order and Inventory Management supports Salesforce's Shield Platform Encryption on all current standard fields and also supports the encryption of files and attachments.

When encryption has been enabled for a field, disabling encryption for that field does not remove the querying restrictions against it. This means that any current or future packages installed in your org that use that field must continue to support encryption on that field. For example, when searching for records, users cannot filter by a field that has ever been encrypted because the querying restrictions imposed by encryption don't allow filtering on encrypted fields. In this situation we recommend you exclude encrypted fields from your searches.

Limitations

The content of formula fields is not decrypted by Salesforce. Information that relates to an account and account address will remain encrypted.

If you are considering enabling encryption in your org, refer to the Shield Platform Encryption Implementation Guide from Salesforce. If you are unsure whether to proceed, contact your Salesforce representative before making any decisions.
