  The SAP error message 9J295: Display variant not found typically occurs when a user tries to access a report or transaction that requires a specific display variant, but that variant is not available in the system. This can happen for several reasons, such as the variant being deleted, not being created for the user, or the user not having the necessary authorizations to access it.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Display Variant: The display variant that the user is trying to access does not exist in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or use the display variant.
  User-Specific Variants: The display variant may be user-specific and not available to the user who is trying to access it.
  Transport Issues: If the display variant was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check for Existing Variants:
  
  Go to the transaction where the error occurred and check if the display variant exists.
  You can usually find this under the "Variants" option in the report or transaction.
  
  
  
  Create a New Display Variant:

  Check Authorizations:
