This page is used to protect account codes and amounts from being changed when developing the next year's budget. When completing the mask, you can quickly select single or multiple account codes to be locked. Budget accounts that are locked cannot be updated or changed on the Budget maintenance pages by either Budget users or through the Interface NY to Budget process in Payroll. You do not need to remember what accounts are locked before unlocking them. By using a full mask of the account code and clicking Execute, a preview page of all account codes to be unlocked is displayed. You can then determine if all accounts listed are to be unlocked or if the unlock mask should be modified.
