Unlocking Selected Objects

Selected objects can be unlocked so that others can manipulate them. Objects that can not be unlocked are indicated by the PPR Edit status window (shown above).

 
  1. Select the objects to be unlocked.

  2. Click Unlock selected Manufacturing Hub objects from the Manufacturing Hub Commands toolbar, or select the Tools > Manufacturing Hub Commands > Unlock selected Manufacturing Hub objects menu command.

    If one or more objects selected to be unlocked have children, the Unlock PPR Object dialog box prompts the user to determine whether the children should also be unlocked:
