Hi

What it is the importance of Transport Request in SD?

Dear Sateesh

In simple terminology, Whatever configuration / customization you create / change depending upon your client's requirement, it should be updated through Transport Request.

All system setting changes are put in project-specific change requests. You can transport the system settings into other SAP Systems with the change requests. The change requests are managed in the Transport Organizer.

There are two types of Customizing change requests:

Customizing request

Customizing requests contain changes to client-dependent tables.

Workbench request

Workbench requests contain changes to client-independent tables.

You can monitor the change requests by project in the project management. The Transport requests tab contains the following functions for the current client:

Activate CTS functionality

As prerequisite for creating change requests. When the CTS functionality is active, the pushbutton label changes to Display CTS project data. When the CTS project is finished, the pushbutton label changes to Reactivate CTS functionality.

Assigned CTS requests

Go to Transport Organizer request overview, where you can create requests for a project.

CTS project object list

The project object list is unchanged. When the customizing project is finished, the complete object list can be exported.

CTS project status switch

Sets the project status switch.

End CTS project…

End your customizing project. You can reactivate it later.

Thanks

hello, friend. the following are in layman's terms. there may be more technically correct terms, but allow me to proceed....

Transport Request is a technical tool that copies your configuration settings from one environment to another. you don't normally make IMG settings directly in the final user environment. you make settings in a DEV environment.

when you save your settings, the system will ask for a Transport Request number, which you may create or may use an existing one.

the settings can then be transported to a QAS environment where testing can be done. if everything is fine, then the settings are transported again to PROD, the end user environment.

hope this helped. do reward if so...

thanks and regards.
