Define Consolidation Types - the Lock Tab

You can use this tab to create lock groups for the consolidation types you want to lock for additional changes.

If you lock a consolidation type, the information about ownership relations in the lower part of the Company Structures Define window - Generated View tab, and in the Define Consolidation Types window - Define tab, will not be accessible.

If you want to change parameters of locked consolidation types or information about ownership relations, you must unlock the lock group containing that specific consolidation type.

In a locked consolidation type, the only thing you can change without entering a password is the local name.

Procedure

  1. On the Maintain menu, click Company Structure/Consolidation Types - Define. The Consolidation Types - Define window opens.
  2. On the Lock tab, click the New button. All fields are cleared for entry.
