During actuals recalculation, what happens to PSA regarding record creation?

When actuals recalculation occurs in PSA (Professional Services Automation), the system transitions to a read-only state. This means that users are unable to make any changes to records or create new entries. The primary reason for this temporary restriction is to ensure data integrity during recalculations, which involve significant processing of existing data to update financial metrics and resource allocations based on the most current actuals.

In a read-only state, all data is preserved in its current form, which allows users to review reports and information without the risk of altering any part of the data that is being recalculated. This ensures that the recalculation process can be completed without any interference, maintaining accurate results and avoiding potential inconsistencies. Once the recalculation is finalized, the system will return to its normal state, allowing users to make updates and create new records as necessary.
