Populating Locks

After building an SVP hierarchy, you populate the hierarchy's locks. When you populate locks, multiple users cannot simultaneously edit data, and you can remotely edit forecast data.

NOTE:  Until you populate the locks, end users cannot view SVP data.

Locks are populated at the account level, preventing users at lower account levels from overwriting modifications that users make at higher account levels.

For more information about locking SVP data, see Locking and Modifying SVP Data (End User).

This task is a step in Roadmap for Sales Volume Planning.

To populate SVP hierarchy locks

1. Navigate to the Administration - Sales Volume Planning screen, then the Other Actions view.
2. In the Other Actions form, create a new record.
3. From the Action field drop-down list, select Populate Locks, and enter text in the Description field.
4. Click Execute Action.

   In the SVP Action list, the status of Pending appears in the Status field. After the locks in the hierarchy are populated, the Status field changes to Complete and a dialog box appears, confirming that the action was successful.
