This function enables you to lock rooms and other resources to prevent other users from editing them. When you lock resources for a certain period, they are no longer available for selection during this period.

This function is useful, for example, when resources need to be repaired or serviced.

It may be necessary to temporarily lock a room that is to be renovated. In this case, you would lock the room for the period of the renovation.

The function Lock Resources is used in the application components Room Reservation Management and Training Management.

To use this function, you must define an initialization object type in Customizing.

For more information, refer to Customizing of Room Reservation Management and access Activities ® Execute ® Define Initial Object.

• You may only lock resources for periods during which they are not reserved. If the lock period you define contains days on which the resource is already reserved, the lock is only active on the non-reserved days.

• Locks are effective for whole day periods, not for specific time blocks on a specific day.

You must specify the resource you want to lock and the time period. The system locks the resource for the required period.
