• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACSIB_BDTI107 - A variant name must not begin with an underscore (_), reserved for import ?

  The SAP error message CACSIB_BDTI107 indicates that a variant name you are trying to create or use begins with an underscore (_). In SAP, names that start with an underscore are reserved for system use, particularly for import purposes, and therefore cannot be used for user-defined variants.
  
  Cause:
  
  The error occurs when a user attempts to create or reference a variant (for example, in a report or selection screen) that starts with an underscore. This is against SAP's naming conventions, which reserve such prefixes for internal system use.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Rename the Variant: Change the name of the variant to ensure it does not start with an underscore. Use a name that follows the standard naming conventions, typically starting with a letter or a number.
  
  
  Check Existing Variants: If you are trying to modify or use an existing variant, check the name of that variant and ensure it adheres to the naming rules.
