Some entities are inactive in the prior period
Ownership by Period and Category is selected

Changes that have been made:

New dependents have been added to the organization

Reason for Problem:

The prior period has IMPACTED entity or entities which cannot be consolidated because entities above are LOCKED

Solution:

Calculate formulas on the dependent of the locked entity

If there is no data in the new dependent select TASK -> ERASE

The dependent should also be locked. There should be no unlocked dependents if the parent is locked.
