Function documentation Locking Segments in an Allocation Cycle  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

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

Recommendation

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.
