Procedure documentation Closing/Opening the Import Queue  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Prerequisites

So that an SAP System being supplied with change requests always remains consistent, you must specify deadlines by which developers must release their change requests. You can close the import queue to prevent requests released after the deadline from being imported.
