single TMS form. If this happens, you must revert it back to the requestor to create a separate
TMS entry for each transport.

The Axalta Basis support team will check the Lotus Notes TMS entries daily and transport those that
are listed in the following stage/status:
Stage: in Development
Status: Approved for Transport

4. View each CTS document to determine if dependent transports are required. Be sure to
check both the Source-System Dependency field and the Detailed description field. If
dependencies exist, ensure these dependencies have been migrated to the Quality
Assurance system first. If approval is NOT granted to move the dependencies, then do NOT
migrate the requested transport.
