  Manual Adjustments: If you need to apply changes in the same system, consider using other methods such as:
  
  Directly applying the changes in the system.
  Using customizing requests if applicable.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to transport management for further guidance on best practices and configurations.
