• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CAWUSL120 - Variant &1 deleted ?

  The SAP error message CAWUSL120, which states "Variant &1 deleted," typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting or variant management. This message indicates that a specific variant (identified by &1) has been deleted from the system. Variants in SAP are used to store specific settings for reports or transactions, allowing users to execute them with predefined parameters.
  Cause:
  
  Manual Deletion: The variant may have been manually deleted by a user with the appropriate permissions.
  System Cleanup: A system cleanup process or job may have removed the variant due to certain criteria (e.g., inactivity, age).
  Transport Issues: If the variant was part of a transport request, it might not have been transported correctly to the target system.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, users may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the variant, leading to confusion about its existence.
  
  Solution:
  
  Recreate the Variant: If the variant is essential, you can recreate it manually by going to the relevant transaction or report and setting the parameters again, then saving it as a new variant.
  Check Change Logs: If you have access, check the change logs to see who deleted the variant and why. This can provide insights into whether it was an intentional action or an error.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the variant. If the user is supposed to have access, check if the variant is indeed deleted or if it is a visibility issue.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the deletion seems unexpected, consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate any system jobs or cleanup processes that might have affected the variants.
  Transport Management: If the variant was part of a transport, ensure that it is included in the transport request and that the transport was successful.
