You can create and save predefined sets of input values in the ABAP Editor for any selection screen. These are called variants. They make processing in SAP easy as jobs can be run with these sets of input values. The AE system provides various functions that you can use to read, copy, modify, delete, or list variants
Important! To eliminate possible sources of errors, check and set variants just before processing an ABAP program.
