  Key Concepts: 
  Dimension lock is a feature in SAP EPM-BPC Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) that prevents users from making changes to certain dimensions in a BPC model. This feature is used to ensure that the data in the model remains consistent and accurate. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use dimension lock, the user must first define which dimensions should be locked. This can be done by selecting the “Lock Dimensions” option in the BPC model. Once the dimensions are selected, they will be locked and any changes made to them will be prevented. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that dimension lock does not prevent users from viewing or exporting data from the model. It only prevents them from making changes to the locked dimensions. Additionally, it is important to remember that dimension lock can be enabled or disabled at any time, so it is important to keep track of which dimensions are locked and which are not.
