Transaction Lock Manager

From the Transaction Lock Manager, users can manage transactions that have been locked to prevent multiple users from accessing the same records, such as A/C Registration, E/C Authorization Steps, T/C Authorization Steps, GL Inventory Costing Reports, P/N Master records, W/O Actuals, and W/O Closing. The Reset button can be utilized to refresh the window. Select the Unlock checkbox for the appropriate record(s) to unlock a record, then select the Save button.
