Is it possible to prevent a force consolidation to run on locked period ?

The Answer is Yes!

And has been partially answered here and there.

Thank you Christian for the nice posts I could find (see below for the links).

So in order to do so, you will actually have to first cancel the force consolidated.

Then by retrieving the period selected for the execution, you will be able to run through the entities and check wether they are locked or not.

If not, you will be able then to impact the calc status of the ones that aren't locked.

And eventually run a simple consolidation.

Be aware, this would only work if you run a force consolidate from the right click or a process step.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

The associated data management should look like this :

Don't forget to create the associated literal parameter in a dashboard unit in order for this to work.
