To provide this level of field security, you must have MAPICS Integrator. The costing fields are secured by the Cross Application Tasks that control costing information. Since they are already controlled by another task, you cannot place additional security on these fields. This according to the MAPICS Support Center. In my instance, I needed to secure the Unit Cost Default field on the Item Revision field to prevent users from placing a value in that field. We were attempting to implement Item Balance costing and we wanted to ensure that no one placed a value in the Unit Cost Default field. Since the constraint described above applied, I modified the attribute of the Unit Cost Default to allow a discrete domain with a single value of 0. That solved my problem.
In your circumstance, I believe you will need to use the User Exits on the Item Revision object. That exit must be written to prevent the user from maintaining the Std Mtl This Level field, while still allowing them to maintain the Current Material This Level. If you have not used the User Exits yourself before, it can be a challenge to get started, but this is a sure-fire way to accomplish what you want.

Setup a group profile with the cost field update authority and assign the users responsible for setting up the new item to the group. Turn off the cost field authority for everyone else. If you limit access to the responsible personnel, who should have the authority to add new items and maintain existing items, cost control should be possible.

I'm looking for a way to secure the standard cost field in EPDM (Standard material this level) It should be possible for a user to create an item including all the cost fields but when the item is already there the same user can't be allowed to maintain the standard cost field.(Standard material this level) Current cost fields should still be maintainable by the same user. Standard cost can only be maintained by users with the correct user rights. Is there a way to do this?
