Maintaining Variants Automatically (Advanced) 
You can create a RedwoodScript job definition to change one or more values of a variant directly, without the need to manually edit the variant. In the script youmodify the values for the vairants with legal values and then submit job definition SAP_StoreVariant to save the variant in the SAP System. This is especially useful when you want to have dynamic variants, for instance, a parameter that would contain the current date. With SAP CPS, this is easily implemented, as you could schedule a job daily which changes the parameter value of the variant and fills it with the current date.
