Lock and unlock scope

On the Scope items page, you can lock and unlock the scope on a project.

When the scope is locked for the first time on a project, the current Scope item qty value is automatically used as the OB qty value for each existing scope Item in the project. When you update the scope item quantity while the scope is locked, a cause code is required. Any new scope items added after the scope is locked do not have an OB quantity.

When the scope is unlocked, then the OB qty field is editable on all existing scope items in the project.

To lock or unlock the scope from the Scope items page, click Actions, and then select Unlock Scope or Lock Scope from the drop-down list.
