Summary :
Transporting SAP objects across systems with different Basis releases can be prone to errors, divided into technical (where transport fails) and logical issues (where transport succeeds but functionality is incorrect in the target system). Particularly, transporting from systems with higher to lower releases risks incompatibilities, especially using functions specific to newer releases. Development should be initiated in the lowest release within a project to minimize complications. For trans-releases operations, it is crucial to use the R3trans tool from the native system for both importing and exporting. Various SAP Notes provide further details for specific cross-release scenarios.

Key words :
