Cell Locking

For all planning reports, data entry is only possible when a single legal entity and the local currency are selected. Cell locking prevents the entry of data in fields that draw on multiple sources.

In the Projected Balance Sheet Model, data entry is generally possible when no other Jedox Models are installed. However, if Jedox's Profit and Loss model is installed, then cell locking logic will be activated, as the data fields are linked across the Models.

Every account in the BS Account dimension contains, the Projected attribute, which indicates whether the element is subject to automatic projections, 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 stored in these attributes, cell locking is activated in the planning reports and data cannot be entered. See article, BS Account dimension for further details.

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 Projected Balance Sheet Budget report, it is possible to input data in areas 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:
