Let's take a scenario where the organization doesn't want its Employee (Accounts User) to edit the Rate of the item while creating a Sales Invoice. To do that, we can simply make the Item Rate field a read-only.
1. To achieve this, go to Customize Form, select DocType as Sales Invoice Item, scroll to the Item Rate field and expand it.
2. Search for the Perm Level, enter the number (0, 1, 2, 3, etc), and Save it.
3. Once saved, click on Add a New Rule in Role Permission Manager and select the Document Type and the Role, in our case, Accounts User, set the Perm Level as 2 and grant the Employee Read access.
This is how the Role Permissions Manager will display the newly created Rule with Perm Level as 2:
4. Now, as you can see in the Sales Invoice the User can only read the Item Rate field which will be fetched automatically from the Price List.
