• Key Concepts: 
  Descendant is a term used in the SAP BC-CTS Change & Transport System. It refers to an object that is dependent on another object, meaning that it cannot exist without the other object. For example, a table field is a descendant of a table, and a function module is a descendant of a program. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Descendants are important in the SAP BC-CTS Change & Transport System because they must be transported along with their parent objects. This means that when transporting an object, all of its descendants must also be transported. This ensures that all related objects are kept up-to-date and consistent across different systems. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When transporting an object, it is important to check for any descendants that may need to be transported as well. This can be done by using the “Display Dependencies” option in the SAP BC-CTS Change & Transport System. This will show all of the objects that are dependent on the object being transported.
