The transport link is a central function in Customizing. The Customizing settings of a system or client can be transported to other systems or clients using Customizing requests. Business Address Services provide methods for transporting the addresses together with their Customizing objects.

Addresses for Customizing objects (such as plant, company code or sales organization) are usually transported by adding the Customizing data changed to a transport request in the maintenance transaction. During this process, the corresponding address data is added automatically to the transport request.
