hi thinker.

Scenerio - 1

any object - domain, dataelement, field, table, program, screen etc..,

is created on a development system and is assigned a TRANSPORT REQUEST.

Then the object is moved to quality or production.

Now once the object is assigned to a key -( which in turn is assigned to a user), then the object cannot be modifed by another user.

This beautiful way of doing things in SAP, automatically takes care of your concern- data validity.

Scenerio 2.

Now lets assume that you have created this object as a local object- no key attached and it is not going to be transported to another system ( quality / production). Then it can be modified by other users. which is the situation you are facing.

you may be facing this situation because all user are using the same logon id and password.

Thanks.

Hi Raj,

You can provide access restrictions by LOCK OBJECTS concept.

As you know lock objects provides the locking the access to a record, or filed ie domain or dataelement, or table.

SO better way is to be create lock object by using SE11.
