In version 46C you can create a transport request in SE38 for the variants of a program. You could then use transaction SCC1 to copy those changes from one client to another.

To create transport:

1) Go to transaction SE38 and enter the program name.

2) Click the radio button next to the "Variants" subobject and click the "Change" button

3) On "ABAP: Variants" screen, select menu path "Utilities -> Transport request"

4) Enter the variant(s) you want to copy into the "Variant name" box.

5) Click the execute button and save the data to a new change request.

To copy to new client:

1) Log on to target client and goto transaction SCC1.

2) Enter the source client and change request number from above.

3) Click the execute button.

You can use the program : RSTRANSP for transporting the Variants.

Hope this will be helpful.

You have couple of options .

For normal variants use report RSTRANSP to create a transport for your Variant . Once the request is created , request your basis folks to import into another client . This method can be used to transport variants to other clients of same system as well as other systems.

Create a system variant . Just give the name of variant starting with CUS&.... . This will automatically ask for a transport . You need not copy these transports to other clients as these variants are client independant irrespective of which ever client they are created in . The transport created can be used to move variant between systems.

Cheers.
