Hello,

If u want to transport the report varaint the u have to name theVariant as

<b> &SAP or &CUS...</b>

The variants are saved under the table

VARI	ABAP/4: Variant storage (similar to INDX)
VARICON	Selection variants: Content
VARICONCI	Selection Variants: Content (Cross-Client)
VARID	Variant directory
VARID_CI	Variant Catalog, Cross-Client
VARIDESC	Selection Variants: Description
VARIDESCCI	Selection Variants: Description (Cross-Client)
VARINUM	Internal number assignment for variants
VARIS	Assignment of variant to selection screen
VARIS_CI	Assignment of Variant to Selection Screen
VARIT	Variant texts
VARIT_CI	Variant Texts, Cross-Client
VARK	Delivery Plan: Customer-Specific Itinerary
VARZ	Delivery Plan: Zone-Specific Itinerary

Use program RSTRANSP for transport of variant.

The variants in report selection screen contexts and the transaction variants(SHD0) are totally unrelated.

To transport the Variants in the report selection screen, we have to run the program: RSTRANSP.

For transporting the transaction variants it would prompt you to create a transport request as and when you save the transaction variant.

Hi sam

This is a key peice of information regarding Variants:

<b>If you want the variant to be transported automatically with its program, you must create a system variant. The name of a system variant starts "CUS&" for customers, and "SAP&" for SAP system variants. You can only use the "&" character within this prefix in the name of a system variant. It may not occur in any other context. System variants are administered by the Workbench Organizer. Although you can create and access variants from any client, they are always stored in client "000". </b>
