Dynamics 365 Sustainability: Configure granular reporting‑period locking Beta
Data as of 2 hours ago (26 October 2026)
Description
This feature provides granular and configurable reporting‑period locking within sustainability data management. Customers can independently lock data ingestion, calculations, and external reporting, enabling scenarios such as restatements or recalculations in closed periods without requiring a full unlock of all data and processes. The locking model allows organizations to define how locks apply across organizational units, facilities, scopes, and categories, including Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, providing precise control over which data can be modified across complex organizational and reporting structures. The feature is automatically enabled and can be configured from the settings section of the product. Users can apply targeted locks with clearly defined boundaries to control when data can be modified across ingestion, calculation, and reporting workflows. Business Value: As sustainability data volumes grow and reporting cycles become more regulated, organizations need stronger controls to protect reported results while still supporting corrections and restatements. This release provides greater precision over when and how data can change, reducing the risk of unintended modifications to closed reporting periods. By strengthening governance and auditability, customers can maintain trust in reported data while supporting controlled adjustments when required. Enabled for: Enabled for end users automatically
