In the actual commission application, which is generated in Customizing, no period-managed data is transported from the preparatory system into the live system. The table entries in the preparatory system are first stored temporarily in the transport application and are then transported to the live system. They are then copied back into the actual application and the version data is adjusted to correspond to the entries there. Each application is assigned to exactly one uniquely-named transport application. A transport application is created, not when a new application is created or generated, but when the Customizing special copier is called it is then created automatically, in the background.

• Key Concepts: 
  Transport application is a feature of SAP ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM) that allows users to move data from one system to another. It is used to transfer data between different systems, such as from a development system to a production system. This ensures that the data is consistent across all systems and that any changes made in one system are reflected in the other systems. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the transport application, users must first create a transport request. This request contains the data that needs to be transferred from one system to another. Once the request is created, it can be sent to the target system for processing. The target system will then process the request and transfer the data accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a transport request, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary data is included in the request. This will ensure that all of the data is transferred correctly and that no data is lost during the transfer process. Additionally, it is important to check the status of the transport request regularly to ensure that it has been processed correctly.
