Introduction
The Software Update Manager in general considers the planned downtime
(SPS, EHP implementation, Upgrades). In the past you had a separate step
to import the related transport requests of the target transport after
when the SUM was finalized. The import of the customer transports
extends the classical upgrade use cases to consider customer releases as
well.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

This has been changed since the import of customer transports are
considered in the SUM procedure. You can call this option in the
standard or advanced mode of SUM.
The SUM functionality supports customer releases for ABAP systems in
general. But BW is currently not supported.
To use this feature, a transport buffer file is required. This is a list
of customer transport objects to be imported during the SUM procedure.
