Price Locking

This will lock the overall price so additional equipment may be added at no charge (100% discount). Price Locking has three modes:

None - it's turned off (default)
Strict - lines and header are locked so deleting lines is not possible as doing so would mean total of lines would not add up to header total
Allow Deletions - lines can be deleted but in order to keep the line pricing adding up to the (locked) header total, all the remaining lines will have their prices recalculated to me the target header price.
