SAP systems, you can change a data lock status in the following areas
depending on the module and purpose:
1. SAP GUI - Table Locking (Transaction SM12):
o Use SM12 to display and manage locked entries in the database.
o You can unlock the entries here if they are no longer needed or
stuck due to a session termination.
2. Data Lock in Planning Applications (SAP Integrated Business
Planning - IBP):
o Go to the Manage Data Locks app.
o Select the relevant data lock object and change its status (e.g.,
lock or unlock).
3. Data Lock in SAP Business Warehouse (BW):
o In the Data Load Monitor (RSA1) or process chains, check for
data locks during data loads.
o You can release locks if necessary by stopping the process or
using RSRV to correct issues.
4. Data Lock in Financial Consolidation:
o For planning and consolidation modules (e.g., BPC or Group
Reporting), navigate to the respective Data Lock Manager
settings to manage locked periods or data.
5. SAP Fiori Apps:
o In SAP Fiori apps, locks on objects like sales orders, purchase
orders, or planning data can often be managed directly via the
app interface (e.g., "Manage Sales Orders").
6. Authorization Lock Management:
o Use transaction SUIM or role-based controls to check locks
related to authorizations and security.

In SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), you can change the data lock status
within a planning model. This feature is used to lock or unlock data in
specific cells, accounts, time periods, or other dimensions to control user
inputs and preserve data integrity. Here's how you can manage data locks:
Steps to Change Data Lock Status in SAC:
1. Open the Planning Model:
o Navigate to Main Menu > Modeler.
o Open the specific Planning Model where you want to manage
data locks.
2. Go to the Data Locking Settings:
o In the model overview, look for the Data Locking section.
o Configure the default data lock status (e.g., locked or
unlocked) for newly added data.
3. Set Data Locks for Specific Cells or Regions:
o Open a story based on the planning model.
o Enable Data Locking Mode:
In the toolbar, click on More Options (three dots or
settings icon).
Select Data Locking Mode.
o In the grid or table, choose the range of data you want to lock or
unlock.
4. Change the Lock Status:
o Right-click on the selected cells or data range.
o Choose Lock Status and set it to either:
Locked: Prevent changes to the data.
Unlocked: Allow changes to the data.
5. Save the Changes:
o Once you've updated the lock status, ensure to save the story or
model to persist the changes.
6. Verify Permissions:
o Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to
manage data locks.
o Permissions are configured in the Security section under Roles.
Tips:
Use version-specific locks to ensure that only specific data versions
are locked while others remain editable.
If you use hierarchical dimensions, you can lock or unlock data at
different levels of the hierarchy.
Would you like assistance with a specific scenario, such as configuring
hierarchical locks or permissions?
