Problem

Trying to assign a BOQ item to a works order line results in message

FRM-40200:Field is protected against update.  

Replication Steps:

1. Raise a works order, add a line
2. Go to BOQ screen,  double click in item code field.
3. Error message above is shown. No List of values appears.

Solution

The issue can occur if the user selects a work category that has a negative budget balance ( over budget ) and the user does not have the role OVER_BUDGET assigned. When trying to add a BOQ item to the work order line , no list of values displayed and the message FRM-40200:Field is protected against update is displayed.

Either add more budget so the balance is no longer negative 

1. Navigate to Maintenance Manager, Financial, Budgets
2. Query back appropriate item code against financial year and increase budget

or assign role OVER_BUDGET to the user

1. Navigate to Exor,security,users
2. Query back username, check the roles tab for OVER_BUDGET and add it if required.
