The functions of the change and transport organizers allow developers to have the organization and coordination of individual or team development projects. Within the environment of the organizers and transport system, there are two points of view concerning the roles of individuals in charge of controlling and managing the system:

The R/3 developers and/or the people doing the customizing work are in charge of creating or correcting development objects as well as customizing the system, and thus will create the change requests or use common change requests in a project. Releasing the change requests actually performs the export phase of a transport. When doing this, they should also check the log of the export phase as well as inform the administrator of the status and possibly request that the administrator make the import.
¨
The R/3 administrator is the person who sets up the transport systems, performs or schedules the imports, checks the result of imports, and finally informs the developers. Administrators have to work both at the R/3 application level and at the operating system level using the transport control program (tp). Since the introduction of the TMS, the most common transport functions, including imports, can be also performed within R/3.
