• Key Concepts: 
  Workflow-controlled transport is a feature of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) that allows for the automated transport of changes between different SAP systems. It is used to ensure that changes are transported in a controlled and secure manner, and that all necessary steps are taken before the changes are applied. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use workflow-controlled transport, you must first create a workflow template that defines the steps that must be taken before the changes can be transported. This template can then be used to create a workflow instance, which is used to control the transport process. The workflow instance will then guide the user through the necessary steps, such as approving the changes, testing them, and finally transporting them. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a workflow template, it is important to consider all of the necessary steps that must be taken before the changes can be transported. This will ensure that all of the necessary steps are taken and that no important steps are missed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all users involved in the transport process have access to the workflow instance so that they can approve or reject changes as needed.
