• Key Concepts: 
  Version control is a feature of the SAP BC-CTS Change & Transport System (CTS) that allows users to manage and track changes to their SAP system. It enables users to keep track of different versions of objects, such as programs, tables, and other components, and to compare them with each other. This helps ensure that changes are properly tested and implemented in the system.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use version control in the CTS, users must first create a transport request. This request contains all the objects that need to be changed or added to the system. Once the request is created, users can then assign a version number to it. This version number is used to identify the changes made in the request. The version number can also be used to compare different versions of an object and determine which one is the most up-to-date.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using version control in the CTS, it is important to keep track of all changes made in each transport request. This will help ensure that all changes are properly tested and implemented in the system. Additionally, it is important to assign meaningful version numbers to each transport request so that they can be easily identified and compared with each other.
