Documentation

Definition

This indicator controls the distribution of object data for the Integrated Distributed PDM Solution (ID PDM).

Use

The distribution lock is read during distribution via a change pointer.

If an object has a status with this indicator, the object is not distributed to other ALE systems.

Procedure

Examples

Dependencies

For objects that can be distributed by field groups, enter a profile for controlling change authorizations in ALE systems.

Supplementary Documentation - DLOCK 0001

Use

This indicator only applies to materials that have a cross-plant material status (in the basic data of the material).

If a material has a status with this indicator, the material is not distributed to other ALE systems.

Dependencies

If you want a material with this status to be distributed, enter a profile that controls change authorizations in ALE systems.

This setting is ignored for a plant-specific status (work scheduling).
