What are locked transactions?
A. Locked transactions are transactions where the accounting is locked in FFIS (Foundation Financial Information System). A transaction is locked until the accounting has been accepted by FFIS. If you have a locked transaction, please work with your FFIS functional administrator to have the accounting issue resolved. Please note that if you do not need to modify the default accounting for a transactions (i.e. the transaction is properly charged to profile accounting), the transaction can be approved (even if the accounting has not cleared FFIS). The date received, the item description can be inserted in the middle portion of the Transactions tab. Only accounting cannot be changed if a transaction is locked. ***Currently, there are some transactions that are locked although the accounting has cleared FFIS. This is a known issue that is being researched and addressed by the Procurement Systems Division.
