We explain the use of a transport order in SAP to move configurations, developments, or customizations from one environment to another.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A transport order is a package or container that is used to transfer, insert, modify, or delete objects, in the destination environment. These objects can be the definition and content of new tables, new programs, customizing data, and even modifications to the standard.<\/p>\n
Transports are created from the development system and are transported until they reach the production system. This transfer of information from one environment to another facilitates the maintenance of the production system, as it avoids having to duplicate programming work or repeat the inclusion of customizing data.<\/p>\n
All of this results in increased productivity and a minimization of risks, since the information, before being inserted into the production system, is tested in the development system and its transfer will not be carried out until the project manager gives their approval.<\/p>\n
The tool that allows this transfer of information between environments is called the transport system (STMS).<\/p>\n
The naming convention of a transport is as follows DESK941190, where DES=system sid, KXXXX..= is a sequential number that will increase as more transports are created, there are also 2 types of OTS:<\/p>\n
The SAP Transport System (STMS) is a very important tool when dealing with SAP because it allows for good management of transport orders in any system environment: development (DEV), quality or testing (QAS) and production (PRD).<\/p>\n
STMS ensures that modifications, developments, and configurations are transported securely and controllably.<\/p>\n
STMS is administered from a graphical interface within SAP, generally accessible to system administrators and technical consultants. Through this interface, various actions can be performed:<\/p>\n
System administrators can view the orders created in the development environment and manage them for transport to quality and subsequently to production.<\/p>\n
Each environment has a \"transport queue\", which is a list of orders waiting to be transported. Transport orders are sorted in this queue and processed sequentially.<\/p>\n
STMS allows defining specific rules about who can transport orders, to which environments, and under what conditions. This is fundamental to ensure that only approved changes go to production.<\/p>\n
The SAP transport system is designed to operate under strict security controls, ensuring that the right people have access to the appropriate operations. There are different roles within transport management:<\/p>\n
They are responsible for creating transport orders. These consultants generally work in the development environment and, after making the necessary changes, create a transport order.<\/p>\n
They are responsible for managing transport queues, verifying order consistency, and coordinating their transfer between environments. They also have the ability to release transport orders for execution in production.<\/p>\n
In some environments, a project leader or change manager is required to formally approve the transport order before it can be released and executed in the production system.<\/p>\n
These permissions and roles are configured through the SAP security module, ensuring that activities related to transports are managed securely and controllably.<\/p>\n
Proper management of transport orders not only ensures that configurations and developments reach production systems correctly, but is also essential for efficient logistics operations.<\/p>\n
In many companies, logistics includes the management of material movements within the warehouse, and here SAP offers various solutions according to the specific needs of each organization.<\/p>\n
For companies that do not require the full complexity of the warehouse management module, SAP offers a simplified alternative: Lean WM.<\/p>\n
This solution allows you to verify material movements without implementing the full robustness of the standard WM and is designed to review basic material movements within a warehouse.<\/p>\n
