Transport Request Management

Transport Request Management

Transport Request is like a vehicle which is used to carry/move the changes from one client to another client within the server or across the servers.

How Many types of Transport Requests:

1. Customizing request.
2. Work Bench request.

Customizing Request :

Generally the customizing request would be generated for all customizing activities done by functional consultants. Ex: Company code creation, Define Chart of accounts, Set up APP settings etc.,

This is a client Dependent request.

It means, the changes will be available only in that particular client.

Work Bench Request:

Generally, the Work Bench request would be generated for all the Z-objects done by ABAP team.

Ex:-Developing programs, reports, Interfaces, Forms etc.

Additionally, the workbench would be generated for few IMG activities done by functional consultants like “Transport Validation and substitution rules maintained, Create Variants.

This is a client Independent.

It means, the changes saved under workbench request would be available across all clients in the server.

How many types of request status available in SAP?

They are mainly two types of status for each request.
