3311660 - Extension Field Still Editable Even When the Document is Finished

Symptom

You have created an Extension Field in the e.g Sales Order screen and you expect that when the Sales Order is Completed that field would become non editable. However, the field is still editable.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign 2302 and higher.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Sales Orders work center and then Sales Orders view.
  2. Search for the Required Sales Order and open it.
  3. Click View.
  4. Go to the location of the Extension Field.
  5. Field is still editable.

Cause

When we open the Adaptation Mode we can set the field to read only, then it will be always read only. The same is valid when the Extension Field is marked as editable, it will be editable as well.

Resolution

Currently this is the expected system behavior.

You can achieve your requirement by creating the field from the SDK (PDI) in order to create specific rules.
