Locking Segments in an Allocation Cycle 

Use

You can lock individual segments in an allocation cycle. These segments do not participate in the processing of the allocation cycle.

Blocking of a segment is useful if data in your segment has changed and you wish to repeat a periodic allocation for this segment only. By locking the other segments in the allocation cycle, processing time is reduced.

Activities

You can lock the individual segments of a cycle when you create or change a cycle or a tracing factor. To do this, select Lock indicator.
