2791232 - Account/Sales Data is Not Blocked for Changes From External Sources When Record is in Edit Mode

When editing an account in the Accounts view of the Customer work center, this account is locked by your user. In such a case, you cannot update its header data using CorporateAccountCollection in OData Explorer at the same time. Instead, you receive the following error in OData Service Explorer: The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the resource identified by the Data Service Request URI. 

But when you update the sales data using CorporateAccountSalesDataCollection, no error occurs. Instead, the account sales data will be updated successfully.

The Edit button in the UI locks only the header object, but not the tab Sales Data. The account belongs to the underlying BO Customer. When you search for this account and click on Edit, then the main object will get locked.

However, sales data is not stored in BO Customer. The sales data is stored in a separate BO called Sales Arrangement. OData entity CorporateAccountSalesDataCollection is bound against BO SalesArrangement. The Sales Arrangement instances shown in the tab Sales Data will only get a lock if you do a real change. As long as you only edit an account without performing a real change, the OData call of CorporateAccountSalesDataCollection still works.
