lock - Details


  • Key Concepts: A lock in SAP EPM-BPC Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) is a feature that prevents users from making changes to a particular data set. It is used to protect data from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. The lock can be applied to an entire data set or to individual cells within the data set.
    How to use it: To apply a lock, the user must first select the data set or cell that they want to protect. Then, they can click on the “Lock” button in the toolbar. This will prevent any changes from being made to the selected data set or cell. To unlock the data set or cell, the user must click on the “Unlock” button in the toolbar.
    Tips & Tricks: It is important to remember that locks are only effective if they are applied correctly. If a user applies a lock to a data set or cell that is already locked, then the lock will not be effective. Additionally, it is important to remember that locks can be overridden by users with higher privileges.
