Oracle Demand Planning provides forecast locking functionality to prevent planners from modifying approved forecast values. However, Oracle Support has confirmed that the current locking behavior is temporary and only remains effective during the active planning table session. Once the planning table is refreshed or closed, the applied locks are removed automatically
