In a typical SAP system landscape, you will have about 4-5 SAP clients for different purpose, such as sandbox client, development client, QA client, production client and training client. Each client has to have different client-specific settings on the client-specific objects changes and transports.
Go to tcode SCC4, you will find a list of clients on this system. Double click one client entry and you will enter below screen. You can maintain the client specific settings here.

The transport target specifies where a transport request is imported.
There are three ways to define transport targets. They differ in syntax and function.
Syntax Example Explanation
1. <SYS> C11 Target system
2. <SYS>.<CLI> C11.021 Target system and client
3. /<Group name>/ /EUROPE/ Target group

In the most case, we transport the request CTS (Change and Transport System) between the system landscape. But in some rare case, we need to copy the request to the local file or import the request into another system if the source and target system has no transport route between them.
This blog will show you how to operate the transport request manually.
Step 1. Know the transport request
SAP uses the transport request to record your modification in the dev system. All the modified objects are stored in the transport request file. The naming conversion of transport request is like XXXKYYYYYY. XXX stands for the system id and YYYYYY stands for the request number. Releasing a transport request forces the SAP system to store the request in two files on the server: one is header (also known as co-files) and one body files (also known as data-file).

Tips for Different SAP Objects
Question: How can I transport certain SAP objects?
Here are tips for different objects:
LSMW: There are 2 ways for transporting LSMW data from a system to another.
- Export/import this method gives you the opportunity to select the subprojects or objects you want to transfer. LSMW -> Extras -> Export project
- Transport request with this method, you can transport a LSMW project in full (you can not select the objects you want). With this method, the project will be transported as any other SAP object in a transport order. LSMW -> Extras -> Create change request
Program variants
If you have several program variants in a development system that you want to transport, use the following method to transport them:
Execute program ‘RSTRANSP‘ (via se38) and inform the program and/or variant names (you can transport variant of several programs in one shot).
Layout In some transactions, one can save layout of the screen (sort, filter, … criteria).
These layouts can be transported: In the required transaction, when your layouts have been saved, go to Settings -> Layout -> Layout Management. Select the desired layouts and go to Layout -> Transport… There you can add your layouts in existing TO or create a new one.
Database data
In some unusual cases, you might have to transport data of a SAP table.
Go to transaction SE16, select your entries and go to Table entry -> Transport entries. It’s only possible for some tables…
If you cannot do it that way,you have to create a Workbench transport order with transaction SE16. When created, click on it, go in menu Request/task -> Object list -> Display object list.
Go in modification mode and add a new line with:
PgmID = R3TR
Obj = TABU
Object name = Name of your table
Double-click on the created line and, depending on your need, put ‘*’ in the key field or double-click on it and select the key you need to transport.
