Hi ,

A transport request created in the SAP Development environment keeps a record of the related modifications, corrections, configuration, objects, and documentation.

The changes to Configuration(Usually done by functional consultantas in SPRO transaction come under customizing requests). This may involve changing the contents of T- tables.

The changes to ABAP code, new development programs , scripts, smartforms creation of table definitions etc wil come under workbench requests.

<b>Workbench Requests</b>

When you change a Repository object of the ABAP Workbench, a query window appears in which you need to specify a Workbench request. You can only save the changes if you have assigned the object to a change request.

Workbench requests and the tasks assigned to them are normally used to record changes to Repository objects and Customizing for all clients. However, you can also include client-specific Customizing.

Whether the changes to Repository objects are transported depends on whether a transport route is defined from the current SAP System for the package of these objects. From the system settings, the system automatically determines whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported.

<b>Customizing requests</b>

Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).

Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.

Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport Control) are either all transportable or all local, depending on the system setting. The system uses the standard transport layer to determine automatically whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported. However, you can change this manually.

HI,

Customizing Request:

Changes to Customizing settings are recorded in Customizing requests.

When you release the requests, the current status of the recorded settings is exported, and can then be imported into the consolidation system and, if necessary, into subsequent delivery systems.

The client settings determine whether

- changes to the Customizing settings are possible

- the changes are recorded

When you create Customizing requests, the transport target is automatically assigned the standard transport layer by the SAP System.

Workbench Request:

Workbench requests record changes made to ABAP Workbench objects.

There are local and transportable Workbench requests. (Local Workbench requests have the target system <space>.)

The package of the object and the transport route settings in the Transport Management System determine whether changes are recorded in a local or a transportable Workbench request.

______________________________

Changes to Customizing settings are recorded in Customizing requests.

Workbench requests record changes made to ABAP Workbench objects.

It shows the 2LIS_11_VAITM is already in a particular request......you can do changes and in it if you delete the request or it might be locked in the request with someone's other ids....you can verify with them.....

You can see good details on this thread:

Hope this helps...
