Default Variants

You can save a default variant for the transaction of the consulting solution. The variant is loaded automatically each time you open the tool. Two types of standard variants are available:

System-Wide Variant, Valid for All Users

If a variant exists with the same name as the transaction code (including /SAPLOM/), this variant will be the default for all users who start the tool, unless they have a user-specific variant saved on the same system. Typically, system-wide variants are used to provide a predefined set of values that increases usability when fields such as plant, currency, or time are to be prefilled, for example. The user can change the values at any time before executing the program.

User-Specific Variants

If a variant exists with the naming convention U_<user name>, then this variant will be defaulted for this specific user when they start the tool.

This can also improve usability since certain fields, such as plant, currency, or time, can be prefilled for a specific user. The user can change the values at any time before executing the program. Each user can have only one predefined variant per system, but the variant can be overwritten with new values.
