Before you can work with the Transport Management System (TMS), you must configure it in all SAP Systems in your system landscape.

The TMS configuration includes:

• 
  
Configuring the transport domain: You define which SAP Systems in your system landscape form a transport domain, and which SAP System is to be the transport domain controller.

• 
  
Configuring the transport routes: The transport routes are used to define in which target system you want to consolidate change requests, and which SAP Systems are forwarded this information automatically.

• 
  
Choosing the transport strategy: You can choose how you want to make transports between SAP Systems.
• 
  
Configuring the QA approval procedure: You can use TMS Quality Assurance functions to check changes in the QA system before you transport them to other systems.
• 
  
Configuring the transport workflow: The transport workflow allows you to make speedy corrections to the production system or make transports that do not follow the defined transport routes.
