Which of the following statements about data posting to shared entities is true?

• A. Data posted to one shared entity affects only that instance.
• B. Data posted to one shared entity is posted to all instances.
• C. Data posting is prohibited across instances.
• D. Data posting triggers immediate recalculation in all leaves.

Answer: (B)

Data referenced by a shared entity is meant to be common across all instances that use it. When you post values to that shared entity, those values are applied across every instance linked to it, so all instances reflect the same data. This setup keeps numbers consistent across the environment and avoids duplicating data entry in each instance. The other ideas don’t fit because posting restricted to one instance would break cross-instance consistency, prohibiting posting across instances would prevent synchronization, and recalculation timing is governed by calculation rules and schedules rather than being an automatic consequence of posting to a shared entity.
