• Key Concepts: 
  Import lock is a feature of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) that prevents objects from being imported into a system if they are not compatible with the current version of the system. It is used to ensure that only compatible objects are imported into the system, thus avoiding any potential errors or conflicts.
  
  How to use it: 
  Import lock is enabled by default in the CTS. To enable or disable it, go to the CTS settings and select “Enable/Disable Import Lock”. Once enabled, any objects that are not compatible with the current version of the system will be blocked from being imported.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that import lock should only be used when absolutely necessary, as it can prevent important updates from being applied to the system. It is also important to ensure that all objects are compatible with the current version of the system before attempting to import them.
