Hi,

A transaction variant is a reference to a set of screen variants.You can create any number of screen variants for a screen. The transaction variant consists of these screen variants.

In transaction variants, you select entries to start the transaction in CALL mode.

You can create different kinds of transaction variants for an SAP transaction:

A standard variant
Any number of normal transaction variants.

The standard variant is executes at runtime instead of SAP delivered transaction. No new tcode is required.

A normal transaction variant will be called with its own transaction code of type variant transaction.

A screen variant is an independent Repository object, which has a unique name in the system. The name is constructed as follows:

Variant name
Client
Screen Number

Here you specify whether or not field contents should be copied to the screen variant. You can set various attributes for the individula fields:

You can undo or hide the input status of a field

Transaction variants simplify transaction flow by:

Inserting default values in fields

Hiding and changing the ready for input status of fields

Hiding and changing the attributes of table control columns

Hiding individual menu functions

Hiding entire screens

Transaction variants are actually made up of a series of screen variants. The field values and field attributes for each screen in a transaction variant are stored in screen variants. Each variant is assigned to a transaction. Variants may, however, contain values for screens in multiple transactions, if transaction flow makes this necessary. The transaction the variant is assigned to serves as its initial transaction, whenever you start the variant.

Hi,

You can hide unwanted screens and fields in any of the standard SAP programs without changing any of the standard programs. Additional features such as making the variant as default on the standard SAP transaction code is only available as of 4.6x.

Transaction SHD0 - Create a variant for the required transaction by changing the layout through hiding fields and screens.

Transaction SE93 - Create a variant transaction (e.g. for VA02 = ZVA02).

Next allocate the transaction variant to this variant transaction.

In 4.6c, you can default your transaction variant as the standard variant. (SHD0 - Edit -> Activate/Deactivate as standard variant)
