Configuration table changes.
Our analysis identified:

One of the significant changes has been identified
PurchParameters Table: A new field has been added to the PurchParameters table. This field (Block modifications to Purchase Order Line Unit Price after line has Product Receipt for 1 or more quantity), which is disabled by default, is designed to disable the Unit Price of the purchase line after you generate a product receipt for 1 or more quantity.
