Locking returns

Introduction

Once you've completed the FBT return calculation for each quarter, you can lock the return period to prevent further updates by other users.

Locking will stop data from being manually entered or imported into an FBT period. Locking a quarter will also lock all preceding quarters, as they can impact de minimis and attribution calculations in the current quarter. All users can lock and unlock quarters.
