Important rule: Vouchers and Invoices are not locked if they are not yet paid. Further; journal entries, checks and deposits are not locked if they are not yet reconciled. Finally, invoices and invoice payments are not locked if the deposit of the payments are not reconciled and vouchers are not locked if the payments of the vouchers are not reconciled.
Locking an Accounting Period locks all entries before and including the date you put as the new lock date.
The tables that get locked are:
- Invoice (and invoice detail)
- Voucher (and voucher detail)
- Checkbook (and checkbook detail)
- ARPayments (and ARPaymentsdetail)
- APPayments (and APPaymentsdetail)

User will only be able to do any modification if the locking period is changed or adjusted.
