You may be wondering if you can transport certain SAP objects, and if possible, how? Here are tips for diferent objects:

1 LSMW
There are 2 ways for transporting LSMW data from a system to another.

1.1 Export/import
This method gives you the opportunity to select the subprojects or objects you want to transfer. Hence you don't transfer the object a colleague might have created and that should stay in development system.
LSMW -> Extras -> Export project

1.2 Transport request
With this method, you can transport a LSMW project in full (you can not select the objects you want). With this method, the project will be transported as any other SAP object in a transport order.
LSMW -> Extras -> Create change request

2 Program variants
If you have several program variants in a development system that you want to transport, use the following method to transport them:
Execute program RSTRANSP (via se38) and inform the program and/or variant names (you can transport variant of several programs in one shot).

3 Layout
In some transactions, one can save layout of the screen (sort, filter, ... criteria). These layouts can be transported:
In the required transaction, when your layouts have been saved, go to Settings -> Layout -> Layout Management. Select the desired layouts and go to Layout -> Transport… There you can add your layouts in existing TO or create a new on...

4 DB data
In some unusual cases, you might have to transport data of a SAP table.

Go to transaction SE16, select your entries and go to Table entry -> Transport entries.
It's only possible for some tables...

If you cannot do it that way, you have to create a Workbench transport order with transaction SE10. When created, click on it, go in menu Request/task -> Object list -> Display object list. Go in modification mode and add a new line with:
PgmID = R3TR
Obj = TABU
Object name = Name of your table
Double-click on the created line and, depending on your need, put '*' in the key field or double-click on it and select the key you need to transport.

5 Queries
Queries, datasets and user groups can be exported/imported between the systems thanks to the program RSAQR3TR (see help online).

6 Standard texts
Standard texts used in SAPScript (created with transaction SO10) can be included in transport orders. You have to create a Workbench transport order with transaction SE10. When created, click on it, go in menu Request/task -> Object list -> Display object list. Go in modification mode and add a new line with:
PgmID = R3TR
Obj = TEXT
Object name = TEXT,<standard text>,ST,<language(1)>

Example : R3TR / TEXT / TEXT,YMM_MEDRUCK_MAIN_16_EC,ST,F

You can also copy a Sapscript object (like standard text) with the program RSTXCPFS.
