• Key Concepts: 
  Maintenance and transport objects (MTOs) are components of the SAP Business Navigator (BC-CUS-TOL-NAV) that allow users to make changes to the system without affecting other users. MTOs are used to store and transport changes from one system to another, allowing for a more efficient and secure way of making changes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use MTOs, users must first create an object in the system. This object can be a table, view, or program. Once the object is created, users can then make changes to it. The changes are stored in the MTO and can be transported from one system to another. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an MTO, it is important to ensure that all changes are properly documented. This will help ensure that any changes made are properly tracked and can be easily reversed if needed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all changes are tested before they are transported from one system to another.
