Hide Pricing 

You can restrict users from creating a service report with the pricing information of the services and parts. To achieve this, create a custom profile with the Create, and View action of the Service Reports permission enabled but with the Show Pricing permission disabled.
 

 
Also, depending on which action (Edit, Delete, Send, or Mark As Sent) you enable in the Service Reports permission, users can perform those actions on service reports that do not include the pricing information.
 
By default, users with the Limited Field Agent profile will have the Show Pricing permission disabled with View, Create, Send, and Mark As Sent actions for the Service Reports permission enabled for their Own Records. Thus the following will be true for the Limited Field Agent profile:
  1. They can View, Send, and Mark As Sent service reports that do not include the pricing information.
  2. They can Create service reports without the pricing information.
The following screenshot shows a service report that has been created without the pricing information:
 

 
InfoNote: You can also use the Show Pricing option while customizing the service report template to create service reports without the pricing information of the services and parts.
