The Development of Transport Request System in SAP using ABAP Language

A transport request is a process of transferring SAP system components from one system
to another and the components to be transported are specified in the object list of a
transport request. Current transport request process is using hardcopy form that is
printed with the details about the requester, the change request and change request id.
The usage of the form rise problems that include the problem on storage and filing the
forms, standardizing the form structure, and the process is not easy to monitor and
analyze. The purpose of the study is to develop a system in SAP that can cater for
change request transportation to different client server where the system is fully
integrated with all SAP functionality and can overcome all problems that rise from the
used of hardcopy form. Manual paper-based process is transformed into automate-based
process that is integrated within SAP. The boundary for the study is within transport
architecture in SAP and the transport architecture focus on two system environment with
several clients. ABAP programming is used as the programming language to develop the
entire graphical user interface including screen, and analysis. The implementation of the
project involves identification of the business process flow analysis on the SAP transport
architecture, designing and creating database tables and graphical user interface,
developing program code for screens and analysis, and running program testing that
includes subsystem, integration and system testing. The system is be able to cater for all
user requirements in term of requesting a transport request, communication between
requester and approver, perform transport process, and generates analysis for the
management.
