Variants and screen changes

[Former Member]

Hi,

Does any one know if SAP re generates existing variants of a program when we make changes to the selection screen of a program. I am trying to find out if SAP does any changes to variants when a transport with screen changes move to the PRD system.

Regards,

Hari.

Hi

No, SAP do nothing: only the variants generated for old version selection-screen don't considere the new input fields (parameters, select-options,.....)

Thanks for all the replies, is there any documenation from SAP that states this. We have a lockjam issue for the variant table and was trying to rule out the possibility of a screen change transport causing it. I too believe that a screen change does not cause SAP to touch any old variants but needed some authentic SAP data/prrof to validate my statement.

I am afraid you have to update the variants manually ony by one, after a screen change...
