What causes this issue?

The key with which a display variant is to be saved is specified in
structure IS_VARIANT. The key consists of the attributes REPORT, HANDLE,
and LOG_GROUP. The REPORT attribute must be specified and must have a
unique value. We therefore recommend that you use the program name of
the report in which the ALV has been embedded. This ensures that other
programs do not use the same key for their layouts.
