Symptom
When you maintain any notes (internal or external notes) in the Sales Quotes all fields at the header become read only
Environment
Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Sales Work center
- Go to the Sales Quotes view
- Open a Quote
- Maintain the note field
- Save
- Observe: all fields at the header of the Quote become read-Only
Cause
The Quote has a document type that is configured for bidirectional replication and the quote already exists in the external system (i. e. it has Transfer Status 3-Finished). If on such a quote any kind of change is done and the quote is saved, then this changes are automatically sent to the external system (indicated by Transfer Status changes from 3-Finished To 2-In Process). As long as the response from the external system is not received, i. e. as long as the quote has Transfer Status 2-In Process, it is read-only. Hence, this works as expected.
Remark: If configuration of document type is changed, this has effect only on quote created afterwards!
