root version - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Root version is a term used in the SAP Change & Transport System (CTS). It is the version of an object that is the basis for all other versions of the same object. It is the original version of an object and all other versions are based on it. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The root version of an object is created when the object is first created in the system. All subsequent versions of the object are based on this root version. When changes are made to an object, they are made to the root version and then propagated to all other versions. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When making changes to an object, always make sure to make them to the root version first. This will ensure that all other versions of the object are up-to-date with the latest changes.
