Clear Control Locks

 

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION:  Clear Control Locks allows you to view the menu items and journals that have been locked.  Locks are put on journals and certain menu items when they are opened.  They may not be cleared if Pro Fund Accounting closes unexpectedly.  A regular User can only clear locks that they created.  An Administrator User will be able to clear locks that are not their own.  Please be sure that you save all in-progress work before clearing a lock.  Once a lock is successfully cleared, Pro Fund Accounting will close.

 

NOTE:  This menu item has the potential to change how Pro Fund Accounting operates.  It is highly recommended that all other users exit Pro Fund Accounting before using this menu item.

 

 

 

To access:  Click on the Tools module  then click the Clear Control Locks menu item.   

 

The following window will appear:

 

 

 

The Clear Control Locks window has two Tabs.  The first Tab displays Locked Menu Items as well as the User that opened the menu item.  The second Tab displays Locked Journals items as well as the associated SOE (Source of Entry), Journal Number, and Journal Status.  At the bottom of the window are three buttons.  The Clear Journal Lock button will clear the selected menu item lock or journal lock.  The Reload Locks button will refresh the lock tables and display the current locks that are in place.  The Close button will exit the Clear Control Locks window without closing Pro Fund Accounting.  Once the selected lock is cleared, a success message window will appear.  Click OK.  Now Pro Fund Accounting will need to close.  Click OK.
