Why am I not able to edit fields on the Parameters tab of the Estimated Job Cost Screen Anymore?

This was an intentional change in the software in Version 19.  Since these things can/should be coming from other sources, it was done to prevent users from altering jobs, which would result in skewed information if not caught during job costing.  The Additional Commissions and Order Line Costs tabs can still be edited.

Here is a breakdown of the fields:

*Things that should come from the product/inventory information (depending on line status): Material Costs, Service Costs, Freight Costs, Loads
*Things that can be added/edited by the authorized job costing personnel at the time of job costing: Commission Base Reduce, Overhead Margin Percentage, Commission schedules
*Taxes would come from system settings, header information and/or inventory costs
