What can I do to avoid or warn users changing the Shipping Cost on Partially/Fulfilled Sales Orders?

Question

Hi all,

So when we bill an order, that bill amount comes from the item fulfillment. There have been instances however of users amending the shipping cost on a Sales Order and this not being reflected on the bill as the order has already been fulfilled or partially fulfilled.

Should I display a warning or block the save with a User Event script if the sales order is fulfilled or partially fulfilled and the oldRecord vs newRecord shipping amount has changed?

Or how would you approach this situation?

For now I have added a popup to a client script.

If the shippingcost field changes and the status of the order is partially fulfilled or pending billing then it raises a warning, instructing the user they instead need to amend the first item fulfillment and then sets the shippingcost back to how it was.
