As of Paradigm version 9.540, a setting exists to disallow a user from editing costs, prices, and discounts for lines on transactions in Paradigm. The setting can be accessed in the Menu > System> Security> Settings page. Select the User on which to change permissions, then in the box “Security Settings for Forms” you will find a checkbox for “Disallow editing prices or discounts in orders or invoices”

Checking this will disallow the selected user from changing the sales price, costs, and discounts on the transaction line in orders or invoices.

However! The user will still be able to edit the price in the following cases:

• The product is priced at $0.00 in inventory.
• The product is marked as requiring POs in its detail tab, and the PO has already been created for that line.
