Unable to edit the cost center refence field in consumable table on consumed state.

Hi Team,

 

I’m facing an issue where the Cost Center Reference field in the Consumable table becomes non-editable once the state is set to Consumed. This field is editable in the development environment but not in production.

 

Additionally, when an asset is retired and then reassigned to a user, the Cost Center field does not retain the value—it gets cleared instead of being saved.

 

Any guidance or support in resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Things to check

-> field level WRITE ACL

-> client script or UI policy

-> any before business rule is clearing the value

-> any flow is clearing the value

Hi!

This is likely caused by Prod-only configuration.

Check for UI Data Policies or Client Scripts making Cost Center read-only when State = Consumed, and Business Rules or the Flows clearing the field during asset retirement reassignment. Compare Dev vs Prod and verify all updates were promoted.
