What is a negative outcome of closing the Workflow?

• A. Users Cannot See Their Workflow Profiles For That Period
• B. Data Is No Longer Visible For That Period
• C. Consolidations Can No Longer Be Run For That Period
• D. Data Retrieval Performance Will Degrade For That Period

Answer: (D)

Closing a workflow locks the period and enforces read-only access to the data, while ensuring consistency and auditability as the period is finalized. This additional enforcement and reconciliation work introduces extra overhead when retrieving data for that period. In larger models or complex calculations, the system has to honor the closed state, apply validation and locking rules, and coordinate across dimensions during reads, which can slow down data retrieval. That potential slowdown is the negative outcome you’d observe for that period. The other aspects aren’t inherent results of closing the workflow: visibility of workflow profiles and data typically remains, and the ability to run consolidations depends on specific model rules and timing, not simply on the action of closing itself.
