Lock a completed period and inspect reopening consequences

Procedure​

  1. In Month-end closing, inspect the intended company/month and all open calculation tasks before proposing a lock.
  2. Open the period-lock settings from the month-end workspace and compare the latest eligible period with the currently locked period.
  3. Use the period’s lock action or the supported bulk-lock action only for the intended approved scope.
  4. Reopen the period view and inspect its locked message and saved lock date; verify allowed/read-only behavior under the actual user.
  5. If reopening is required, identify which earlier date/period must be unlocked and which recalculations will be triggered before changing it.
  6. After authorized corrections, rerun affected calculations/reports and restore the appropriate lock. Keep document-entry lock and cost-calculation lock distinct if the current system separates them.
