• Key Concepts: 
  Change recording is a feature of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) that allows users to track changes made to SAP objects. It records the changes made to an object, such as a program, table, or view, and stores them in a transport request. This allows users to easily identify which objects have been changed and when.
  
  How to use it: 
  To enable change recording, users must first activate the CTS in their system. Once activated, users can enable change recording for specific objects by selecting the “Change Recording” option in the object’s properties. This will create a transport request for any changes made to the object. The transport request can then be used to track and manage the changes.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When enabling change recording for an object, it is important to ensure that all related objects are also included in the transport request. This will ensure that all changes are tracked and managed properly. Additionally, it is important to regularly review the transport requests to ensure that all changes are properly documented and tracked.
