Lock (transaction type)

In the Infront Portfolio Manager you can define any number of locks that you can assign to transactions - e.g. purchases. You can find more information on this in the section Manage locks.

To record these blocks for a security, even if they are not based on a specific transaction, there is the transaction type "Block". Proceed as follows to enter a transaction of the type "Lock":

1. Open the "Enter transactions" worksheet as described above in the section Enter transactions and select the desired holder if necessary.
2. Open the DEPOT menu in the "Enter transactions" worksheet.
3. Select the transaction type SPERRE at Depot transaction types .
   

   Use the keyboard to enter a block when the "Enter transactions" worksheet is open as follows: Press the key combination <CTRL>+<1> for the securities account transaction types. Then press the button<L>.
   The "Lock" dialog box appears.
