Create Start with Variant as DEFAULT in SE93 Tcode

Former Member — Mon, 01 Jun 2020 03:28:05 GMT

Hi Experts,

I'm copying the Transaction Code (SE93) set up from ECC to S4HANA but I'm getting an error message in the Start with Variant as Default. Where should I create the DEFAULT variant?

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

1) What are report variants?

With variants you save your selection parameters in the input screen of the report you are about to execute. It reduces the need to enter selection parameters every time you run your report.

2) How to create a report variant?

Variants can be stored for for any report, as long as the Save Button is available in the SAP Menu bar for the report. If the save button is not available, those reports may be proctected for security reasons.

Open the report with SE38 and execute it with F8 to get to the selection screen of your report (Program)
Enter all necessary values for your selection criteria while you are in the selection screen of your SAP report
Click the Save button
Enter a Variant Name, in your case it would be "DEFAULT"
Type a description for the variant
Click the Save button

After that, your transaction will not have the "DEFAULT" variant not being created problem anymore.

michiyo08,

As explained above Variant facilitates the user to directly get the input values from it to execute the report.

In your case you are creating a transaction code for your report and you ask the system to consider the variant "DEFAULT" while executing this transaction. When system tries to assign the variant to the T-code it finds that the instructed variant has not been created yet hence you get the error.

Resolution:

1) Create the variant DEFAULT for the report as instructed above and then creating theT-Code.

2) Remove the variant name DEFAULT while creating the T-Code.

Regards!
