• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MS807 - Variant & was deleted ?

  The SAP error message "MS807 Variant & was deleted" typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) or Production Planning (PP) when a user tries to access a variant that has been deleted or is no longer available in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when working with reports, variants for transaction codes, or other configurations that rely on specific variants.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Variant: The most straightforward cause is that the variant specified has been deleted from the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the variant, leading to the perception that it has been deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the variant was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been included in the transport request.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the variant's configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Variant Existence: Verify if the variant still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., using transaction code SE38 for ABAP programs) and checking the variants available for that program.
  Recreate the Variant: If the variant has been deleted, you may need to recreate it. This can be done by going to the relevant transaction and creating a new variant with the same parameters as the deleted one.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the variant. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
  Transport Check: If the variant was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was included in the transport request and successfully imported into the target system.
  Database Consistency: If you suspect data consistency issues, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate further.
  
  Related Information:
