Transport Request – How to handle SAP Customization Request

You just started your SAP Training and you are trying to do your first customization request in the system, the system will prompt you with a Customization Request as shown below.

How do you get past this screen ? What is a Customizing Request ? Simply put, a customization request is SAP’s way of saying

You are modifying the SAP system. Please specify the number to record it under.

You can create your own Customizing Request number or choose from an existing Customizing Request Number.  Since you just started off, create your own Customization request by clicking on the “new’ button.

A new window opens up where you can provide a description of the change. Give a human-readable ‘short- description’ so that you/somebody else can read it later and identify the actual change and click on the save button in the bottom.

A unique ‘Change Request’ or ‘Customizing Request’ will be created by SAP as shown below.Click on OK button ( Green check mark )

This will record the change you have done in the customizing request and your change is saved.
