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.
