• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MS426 - Variant & copied from client & ?

  The SAP error message MS426 typically indicates an issue related to the copying of a variant from one client to another in the SAP system. The message usually states that the variant cannot be copied due to certain restrictions or conditions not being met.

  Check Client Settings: Ensure that the variant is not client-specific or that you are copying it to the correct client where it is valid.
  Review Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the copy operation. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Use Transport Requests: If the variant needs to be moved to another client, consider using a transport request to move the variant along with its dependencies.
  Manual Recreation: If copying is not possible, you may need to manually recreate the variant in the target client.
