Period locking has been enhanced to give you more control over GoGreen actual data. You can now prevent imports from updating locked periods, and better understand how locks impact your data and workflows.
What’s new
Extended lock option (GoGreen – imports only)
- You can now apply extended locking to selected GoGreen resources
- When enabled, imports will not update locked periods
- Configured at chain level in Settings
Clear visibility of extended locks
- A new icon indicates which resources have extended locking enabled
- Hovering over the icon shows: “Lock blocks imports and manual entries”

Stronger control of chain-level locks
- Once a chain-level period is locked, it cannot be unlocked again
- Changes after locking must be handled via property exceptions
Import status: Imroved handling of imported data
- New status: Partial update when some data is blocked by period locking
- New message: Period locking restriction explains why data was not imported
- Data for unlocked periods is still imported, while locked data is skipped
- A new column shows when period locking affects an import
- You can open the relevant period locking view directly from the import
- When a period is reopened, previously blocked data is automatically processed
Additional safeguards in mapping
- Mapping changes are blocked if relevant periods are locked
- Clear warning messages explain which periods must be opened before saving
- Helps prevent unintended data changes
Benefit
These enhancements give you stricter control over GoGreen data integrity while improving transparency:
- Prevent unintended updates from imports to locked periods
- Improve transparency of how locks affect incoming data
- Reduce risk when working with historical data and mappings
- Support stricter control where data is managed externally
Important information
- Chain-level locks cannot be reopened once active; use property exceptions if needed
- Reopening a period may trigger previously blocked imports to be processed
