• Key Concepts: 
  SAP manifest is a file generated by the Change & Transport System (CTS) component of SAP. It contains information about the objects that are being transported from one system to another. The manifest is used to ensure that all objects are correctly transferred and that no data is lost during the transport process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The SAP manifest is generated automatically by the CTS component when a transport request is created. It contains information about the objects that are being transported, such as their names, types, and versions. The manifest also contains information about the source and target systems, as well as the user who initiated the transport request. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to check the SAP manifest before transporting any objects. This will ensure that all objects are correctly transferred and that no data is lost during the transport process. Additionally, it is important to keep a copy of the manifest in case there are any issues with the transport process.
