• Contains cross-client objects.

• These are usually repository objects that affect the entire system, not just one client.

• Examples:

  • ABAP programs, Function Modules, Classes

  • Dictionary objects (Tables, Views, Data Elements, Domains)

  • Screens, Module Pool programs, etc.

• Once transported, the change is available in all clients of the target system.

👉 Think of Workbench = Development objects (cross-client).

2. Customizing Request

• Contains client-specific settings made in SPRO (IMG) customizing.

• These are configuration settings that only affect the client in which they were made.

• Examples:

  • Company Code settings

  • Plant settings

  • Number ranges

  • FI, MM, SD configuration changes in SPRO

• Once transported, the customizing change is available only in the target client, not all clients.

👉 Think of Customizing = Configuration settings (client-dependent).

3. TOC (Transport of Copies)

• A special type of transport request.

• Used when you want to test changes in Quality (or another system) without releasing the main request.

• Contents of the original request are copied into a TOC and transported.

• The original request remains modifiable (still open).

• Once everything is tested successfully, the original transport request can be released to move changes to Production.

👉 Think of TOC = A “temporary copy” of your transport for testing.
