Moving Appraisal Template to QA

Question

Hi Guys
I understand that we can move Appraisal Template by download/upload method or by right clicking on the Appraisal Template to create transport and move this transport to QA and so on.
For Category group and category, we can do manual configurations in each system or use OOHAP_CATEGORY Tcode and create transport by selecting  Transport option in the menu bar.
For basic settings we can use the regular transport.
I followed download and upload to transport Appraisal Template, works fine.
For Category group and category, I did manual configurations in each system, works fine.
For basic settings I used the regular/customizing  transport, work fine too.
Before using download/upload method, I tried using transport method to move Appraisal Template by right clicking on it, transport request box came up and I created transport and have Basis move it to QA. Basis came back transport failure message due to the following error code:
No activation of relationship to object VH 60000200 in pl. version 60000200 (cl.100)
Errors occurred during post handling RH_ACTIVATE_PDOBJECT_AFTER_IMP for PDST_LSO T
The errors affect the following components
BC-BMT-OM (Organizational Management)
Using Transport method for Appraisal Template should have been the best in my case because we have a custom print program and custom table created to map the sections of appraisal template required for printing. By download/upload method the Appraisal Template VA/VB/VC Ids changed so I had to go back to this custom table for each system to map these changes. Since this method failed for me, I had to use download/upload approach.
Did anyone come across similar challenges? Please share.
Is this the reason download/upload method is suggested?
I will appreciate your input.

Good evening,
The template settings that are new to EHP4, cannot yet be transported in an automatic way. The process is stored in 'VH' objects.
In order to transport the whole template with all EHP4 settings, you need to do the following steps:
1) Transport the core template using 'PHAP_CATALOG'.
2) Transport the process configuration using report 'RHMOVE30' (see attachment 'transport VH.doc').
3) Transport the tab configuration using note '1428054'.
If you have any other issue with tranpsorting PD objects please refer to note 1475428 Transport appraisal Basic settings
Hope this help
