Name of Variant:
This name can comprise up to 14 alphanumeric characters. The "%" character is not allowed. If you want the variant to be transported automatically with its program, you must create a system variant. The name of a system variant must start with "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 must not occur in any other variant names. System variants are connected to the Workbench Organizer and can be created in all clients. They are stored solely in client 000 and can be accessed from all clients.
