hi,

1. <b>Customizing Request:</b> This request is generated if we are doing configuration changes to meet the scenario.

2. <b>Work Bench Request:</b> This are normally development Request or request which are generated during customization such that it impacts all client on the same server.

Change Request / Transport Request carries out the changes in the other server, when it is imported to it & we need not repeat the configuration in other servers, other than development server.

<b>Customizing request</b> is the one created through any configurations

<b>Workbench request</b> usually gets created by abap programmer, or if any tables are updated.

Customising request is the request generated when you do any configuration changes.Ex.creating new sales off.and assigning it to Sales area.

The flow is you define and assign in DEV Server and later on move it to QAS and then PRD,i.e.,DEV->QAS-->PRD.

When you drill down the request,it will show all the details of changes,you can easily find wheather it is Functional or Tec.

Workbench request is concernd to ABAP

Whenever you are creating any new condition tables,this request is of the nature Workbench request and not customizing request

Hope this makes the doubt clear,encourage by rewarding points

HI,

<b>Workbench Requests</b>

When you change a Repository object of the ABAP Workbench, a query window appears in which you need to specify a Workbench request. You can only save the changes if you have assigned the object to a change request.

Workbench requests and the tasks assigned to them are normally used to record changes to Repository objects and Customizing for all clients. However, you can also include client-specific Customizing.

Whether the changes to Repository objects are transported depends on whether a transport route is defined from the current SAP System for the package of these objects. From the system settings, the system automatically determines whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported.

<b>Customizing requests</b>

Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).

Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.

Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport Control) are either all transportable or all local, depending on the system setting. The system uses the standard transport layer to determine automatically whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported. However, you can change this manually.

pl reward if it helps.
