Definition

Specifies that a material:

  • is not always blocked exclusively, but only if data is actually to be saved.
  • is blocked exclusively as late as possible to keep the lock time to a minimum.

The advantage is that several users can enter goods movements at the same time because only one shared lock is set for the material when the movement is entered.

The disadvantage is that the material master record is read several times and, in the case of an outward stock movement, that the lock entries of other users on the ATP server also have to be considered. These additional accesses have a negative effect on performance.
