• Key Concepts: 
  Request Release is a feature of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) that allows users to control the release of transport requests. It is used to ensure that only approved changes are released into the production environment. The Request Release process involves assigning a status to each transport request, which can be either “released” or “not released”. The status of a transport request can be changed by an authorized user, such as a system administrator or a change manager.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Request Release, users must first create a transport request in the CTS. Once the request has been created, it can be assigned a status of “released” or “not released”. If the status is set to “not released”, then the request will not be processed until it is changed to “released” by an authorized user. Once the status is changed to “released”, the transport request will be processed and the changes will be applied to the production environment.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that Request Release should only be used for changes that have been approved by an authorized user. Unapproved changes should not be released into the production environment as they could cause unexpected issues. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all users who are responsible for releasing transport requests are properly trained and understand how to use Request Release correctly.
