Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HF602 - The report is not yet generated. No variant exists. ?

  The SAP error message HF602, which states "The report is not yet generated. No variant exists," typically occurs when you attempt to execute a report that requires a variant for its execution, but no variant has been defined for that report.
  Cause:
  
  No Variant Defined: The most common cause of this error is that the report you are trying to run does not have a variant defined. Variants are used in SAP to store specific selection criteria for reports, and if none exists, the system cannot execute the report.
  Incorrect Report Execution: You may be trying to execute the report in a way that does not allow for ad-hoc execution, such as through a transaction that requires a predefined variant.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the report or its variants.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Variant:
  
  Go to the report transaction (e.g., SE38 or SA38).
  Enter the report name and click on the "Variants" button or navigate to the "Variants" option.
  Create a new variant by entering the required selection criteria and saving it.
  After creating the variant, try executing the report again.
  
  
  
  Check for Existing Variants:
  
  If you believe a variant should exist, check if it has been deleted or if you are using the correct report name.
  You can view existing variants by using the "Variants" button in the report execution screen.
  
  
  
  Use Default Values:
  
  If the report allows for it, you can try executing it without a variant by entering the selection criteria manually.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to execute the report and access its variants. You may need to contact your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the documentation for the specific report you are trying to run. It may provide insights into required variants or specific execution instructions.
