What locking mechanism or process is used by the Sales Volume Planning module during the allocation and aggregation process?
The Sales Volume Planning module uses an allocation lock process during the allocation and aggregation process. An allocation lock is a Boolean variable kept at the highest account level. When set, all subordinate account levels are prevented from performing updates to Sales Volume Planning data. Before an allocation lock is granted, the current account node must be checked to confirm that its upper lock is active, and a search is performed to ascertain that no allocation lock is currently held in the superior account node.Allocation locks are maintained for the account hierarchy. Within a single instance of the category-product hierarchy, all updates are allocated and aggregated immediately.
