How to Transport a Request

How to Transport a Request

You will transport from DEV to QA and then QA to PROD. You will not transport from QA to DEV.

For your clarification you will not change any thing in QA. You will make the changes in DEV and transport them to QA. QA is only for testing.

For more information about the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS), 

Transport Request is generated in following scenarios:

1. Customizing Request - When doing or changing some customization.
2. WorkBench Request - When configuration is cross-client. Eg Generating new Table, making changes in access sequence, Abap development, etc.

Transport request is not generated for Master Data. For eg: Customer Master, Material Master, price master, etc.

Benefit of Transport Request:

SAP Landscape normally has 3- Tier system:
Development Server - Where customization takes place. Transport request is generated at this level & then first transported to Quality server for testing whether it meets the requirement or not. Once the requirement is met in Quality server then Request is transported from Development Server to Production Server (Actual / Live System)
Quality Server - Mainly useful for testing.
Production Server Actual / Live server, where the real transactions are created & posted.
