Definition

Sets a shared lock.

Use

If you set this indicator, when a release order is created against a contract belonging to this document type, the system will impose a shared lock on the contract instead of an exclusive lock. This enables several users to release against the contract simultaneously.

However, the contract itself cannot be changed during this time.

The exclusive contract lock serves to permit the checking of the target quantity or value of the contract to be carried out consistently. In the case of a shared lock, under unfavourable circumstances it may happen that two users release against the contract simultaneously, and whereas each individual release order may be below the target quantity, the two taken together exceed it. In such a case the system will not issue a message.
