Cell Locking
Cell locking prevents the entry of data in fields that draw on multiple sources. For all planning reports, data entry is only possible when a single legal entity and the local currency are selected.
In the Profit and Loss Model, data entry is generally possible when no other Jedox Models are installed. However, if other Jedox models (such as Cost Center or Sales) are installed, then cell locking logic will be activated, as the data fields are linked across the models.
Every account in the PnL Account
dimension contains both the PCalculation
attribute, which defines the rule that is implemented on the element, and PCalculationDependencies
attribute, which defines the source cube of the transferred data. When information is deposited in these attributes, cell locking is activated in the planning reports and data cannot be entered.
For example, in the first screenshot below, element 311320 – Total revenue (entry) contains information for PCalculation
and PCalculationDependencies
. Thus, the planning report will NOT allow values to be written to the database.
In the Profit and Loss Budget report, it is possible to input data in years that are indicated with a horizontal striped pattern: The area where data entry is possible is indicated by a gray box as shown in the screenshot below:
