Prevent Amendment of Default Additional Charge

When processing invoices the additional charge feature allows for an extra charge to be applied to the invoice which is usually used as a delivery charge. Depending on the system configuration this additional charge can default to a value recorded on the order header but the operator could still amend this value when producing the invoice. This new feature allows configuration to prevent the operator overtyping this value during document processing.
