sounds like config setting that intentionally prohibits what you're trying to change...are you changing the cost estimate?

Hi Parimal,

Did you try to change the work order manually?

In case you get these kind of messages, I would first try if the transaction in question is allowing this or not. At least in this way you can confirm if the message is attributed somehow to your coding or to the configuration as Breakpoint pointed out earlier. Obviously in case the latter there is nothing you can do from a technical point of view and you should discuss twith the functional analyst.

Kind regards,

Hi pbhosey

Although the solution was not "earth-shocking" I would have expected the full <reward>? It solved your problem so please <reward> it as such in the future.

Thanks,
