Hi ashwanikumar,

You can go to Field Properties at PO line level and make those fields as Read only. You can apply and save these changes to  relevant user’s profile.

 

 

You can find out the user’s profile from Tools Options in the application

 

Hope this helps!

This is helpful, but still price is editable  before saving the purchase order line.

Hi Ashwanikumar, It cannot happen. Please make sure that you select the correct field for Price/Curr in Read Only tab.

If someone has the ability to raise a purchase order by adding a line to the order, they will also have the ability to change the description and the price as part of creating the line, you can’t separate the two permissions.  Nor can you restrict it in the profile as was suggested above.  if you grant Insert rights to create a PO line - as this user obviously has - then description and price changes come along with that grant.  The only separation is to remove Insert and Modify from the permissions for the user, then it is read only for them, but they can’t create POs either.

The restriction you are attempting has to be managed by process, not permissions.  Or you could look at creating a custom event to check the price and not allow saving the line if the prices don’t match.
