Grey Out Unchangeable Fields in PO Receive Screen

There is an inconsistency in the UI regarding certain fields in the Receive PO screen in leaving the background color of fields white and allowing one to edit their contents. For example, when receiving a PO, one can edit the Price field, when that should be grey/uneditable (maybe SELECTABLE, but definitely uneditable). The New Price field is the one the user wants in this case, but it is possible to put updated prices in the wrong field. The size of the Receive window hides the New Price column and I cannot change the default size of that window (change that too!).

Other fields that are "reference only" at that point and not editable should have a grey background. I think only QTY Rcvd, Cost and New Price should be white and editable in the Receive window.

Maybe this was left editable by accident in the upgrade, but it can make folks wrongly think they've updated their pricing, which is super-dangerous to retailers trying to maintain margin!
