function

Procedure used in the Payroll Module, which is used to lock the payroll calculations on the vessels until the Head Office has finalized and closed the payroll month.

Purpose

The lock Site function is used to lock the payroll calculations on the vessels until the Head Office has finalized and closed the payroll month.

It must be used as a protection measure - to not create problems with data when the Head Office finalizes month-end payroll and to prevent a new calculation onboard before the month has been closed in the office and the changes have been replicated over all sites.
