- Prevents accidental price changes on receiving orders linked to a PO.
- Ensures price consistency between the Purchase Order and the Receiving Order.
- Gives managers control over who can edit prices on PO-linked receiving orders.
- Reduces manual errors and price discrepancies during the receiving process.
- Purchasing officer receives goods from a PO — the price field locks automatically to match the PO.
- Warehouse staff cannot accidentally change an agreed price when receiving items.
- Finance manager grants the edit permission only to authorized staff who need to adjust prices.
When a Receiving Order is linked to a Purchase Order — either by clicking the Receive button on the PO screen, or by creating an RO manually and then linking a PO to it — the Unit Price and Discount fields are now locked and cannot be edited.
This consistent behavior applies to both linking methods:
- Clicking Receive on the Purchase Order screen.
- Creating a Receiving Order first, then linking a PO to it.
