In PMI, the Closing inventory value for one month automatically becomes the Opening inventory value for the following month. If the field appears locked or non-editable, here’s what to check:
Possible Reasons & What to Do:
1. The period is locked
- Once a month has ended, PMI treats it as finalized (actuals). Fields like Closing inventory are locked to protect reporting accuracy.
- Solution: Ask your administrator to unlock the period using Period locking (found under Advanced Settings). Once unlocked, you’ll be able to enter or adjust the value.
2. You don’t have editing rights
- While most F&B Managers or Controllers do have access, some user roles might be restricted from editing actuals.
- Solution: If you’re unable to edit even after the period is unlocked, contact your local admin or support team for assistance.
Tip: Always save after making edits, and verify that the Opening inventory for the next month reflects your updated value.
