  ****************************************************************
  The user can't associate a rotating asset to inventory usage if
  the item became a rotating item while there was an open
  inventory
  transfer.
  After, changing to a rotating item the current balance increases
  in inventory and the asset is visible in the Rotating Asset tab.
  However, it's not possible to move the rotating Asset because
  it's not possible to associate it in the Inventory Usage
  application.
  Thus, the rotating field will be now read-only (blocked/cannot
  toggle) if there is any item in use or is in shipment/transfer.
  Along with the above condition :
  The rotating field will now be set to read-only considering the
  following conditions.
  1. If the inventory balance is greater than 0, it should be a
  read-only field.
  2. If the item is lotted, it should be a read-only field.
  3. If the item is active, added to the storeroom AND [ is in use
  anywhere (matusetrans) OR is in shipment/transfer (matrectrans)
  then it should be a read-only field ].
