  2. Read only
  3. No permission because the sets conflict

  3. The user must select a value or posting is blocked
  4. The dimension is removed from all sales lines

Same Code copies the default dimension value to the line and prevents users from changing it. Code Mandatory, by contrast, requires a value but does not lock it.
