SAP offers both Quality Gate Management (QGM) and Change Request Management as standardized change control tools. Both QGM and Change Request Management offer a central transport mechanism and change control system to manage changes across technology stacks and application components.

However, whereas QGM focuses on the quality process by means of quality gates, Change Request Management provides a process-oriented workflow for the approval and realization of changes. You can decide to use one of the two tools or both together.

Accordingly, an SAP Solution Manager project can be a QGM project, a Change Request Management project, or both. Note the following restrictions:

  • You can enable a Change Request Management project for QGM, but not the other way round

  • A Change Request Management project can only be enabled for QGM in the development phase.

  • You can enable a Change Request Management project by maintaining QGM data directly in the Change Management work center or using transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN. For more information, see Setting up Quality Gates and Assigning Project Phases.

  • For a project enabled for both Change Request Management and QGM, the transport features are only available on the Change Request Management side.
