• Key Concepts: 
  A blocking period is a feature of the IS-R SAP for Retail system that allows retailers to set a specific time frame in which certain activities cannot be performed. This is done to ensure that certain tasks are completed in a timely manner and that the system remains secure. The blocking period can be set for any length of time, from a few minutes to several days.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the blocking period feature, retailers must first set up the parameters for the blocking period. This includes setting the start and end times, as well as the activities that will be blocked during this time. Once these parameters have been set, the system will automatically block any activities that fall within the specified time frame.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a blocking period, it is important to consider how long it should last. If it is too short, it may not be effective in preventing certain activities from being performed. On the other hand, if it is too long, it may cause unnecessary delays in completing tasks. It is also important to consider which activities should be blocked during this time frame.
