SAP Financial Consolidation Web User Guide

What is the difference between single-user and multi-user mode?

Multi-user mode means that several users can open a given package at the same time.

The following conditions apply when working in multi-user mode:
  • A package cannot be opened by the same user at the same time in both Financial Consolidation Web and Microsoft Excel (via Excel Link).
  • To perform certain actions such as resetting, protecting, submitting, rejecting, publishing, and integrating a package or importing data, only one user can be connected to the package.

Single-user mode means that only one user can open a given package. The same package can only be opened by another user in read-only mode.
