You can use this function to unlock payment forms with the Locked status, or to change the lock period.

Prerequisites

To edit payment form locks online, the Posting Lock Management indicator must not be set in the Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM), under Basic Settings -> Activate Special Components. If it is set, all locks are managed by Posting Lock Management, and you cannot edit a lock online.

       2.      Enter the data required for the account identification.

       3.      Enter the payment form type.

       4.      You can also select additional data by using the Payment Form Number From To and the Number of payment forms.

       5.      The system displays a list of payment forms whose locks can be edited.

       6.      Choose Change to change the lock period. The Locked To field is now ready for input in the overview list and can be changed for every form. Save the changes.

       7.      To remove the lock, select the corresponding entry and choose Remove Lock.

If you choose Payment Form History, the system displays an overview of all changes made to the chosen form.
