Price and discount fields on receiving orders linked to a Purchase Order are now locked by default, with a dedicated permission to allow editing when needed.

**Business Value**

* 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.

**Use Cases**

* 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.

**How It Works**

**Price Field Behavior**

| **Where:** Back Office → Purchasing → Receiving Orders |
| ------------------------------------------------------ |

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.

**New Permission: Edit Price in PO-Linked Receiving Orders**

A new permission has been added that allows authorized users to edit the Unit Price and Discount fields on a receiving order linked to a PO:

\| **inventory | receiving order | Can edit price in receiving order linked to PO** |
\| --- |

Users with this permission can edit prices on PO-linked receiving orders regardless of how the link was created.
