I urgently need the ability to be able to turn off the security preference while having other windows open and to be able to keep this window open while I work on the other windows.
The reason...
I haven't fully thought it through, but I was more thinking that some users with extra privileges could have the ability to override the locked period on a per transaction basis (with a warning maybe?) without needing to "Unlock" the period system wide (as this means its unlocked for anyone else who logs into the file). I'm certainly keen to hear more from people as I think this is an important area especially when partners and clients are collaborating on AccountRight Live files. Your points about BAS periods are very pertinent as well and could do with a thread of their own e.g. Would an audit of changes made within an already reported BAS period be useful?
