• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ISSR_TP892 - SR variant &1 does not exist in client &2 ?

  The SAP error message "ISSR_TP892 SR variant &1 does not exist in client &2" typically indicates that a specific variant (in this case, a selection variant) for a report or transaction does not exist in the specified client. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to execute a report or transaction that relies on a selection variant that has not been created or has been deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Variant: The selection variant specified in the transaction does not exist in the current client.
  Client-Specific Data: Variants are often client-specific, meaning they are only available in the client where they were created. If you are trying to access a variant from a different client, it will not be found.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the variant.
  Transport Issues: If the variant was supposed to be transported from another system and the transport did not occur, the variant will not be available.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Variant Existence: Verify if the selection variant exists in the specified client. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction and checking the available variants.
  Create the Variant: If the variant does not exist, you may need to create it. This can typically be done by executing the report or transaction, setting the desired parameters, and saving the variant.
  Use the Correct Client: Ensure that you are logged into the correct client where the variant is supposed to exist.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the variant. This may require checking with your SAP security team.
  Transport the Variant: If the variant needs to be available in multiple clients, ensure that it is properly transported from the development or quality system to the production system.
  
  Related Information:
