• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSH_USER_VARIANT002 - Work Center &1 does not exist. ?

  The SAP error message RSH_USER_VARIANT002 indicates that a work center specified in a user variant does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs when a user tries to access a variant that references a work center that has either been deleted or never existed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Work Center: The work center referenced in the user variant has been deleted or was never created.
  Incorrect Variant Configuration: The user variant may have been incorrectly configured, pointing to a work center that is not valid.
  Transport Issues: If the variant was transported from another system, it may reference work centers that exist in the source system but not in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the specified work center.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Work Center Existence:
  
  Go to the transaction code CR01 (Create Work Center) or CR02 (Change Work Center) and check if the work center exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or modify the variant to point to a valid work center.
  
  
  
  Modify User Variant:
  
  Access the user variant configuration (usually through the transaction where the variant is used).
  Edit the variant and remove or correct the reference to the non-existent work center.
  
  
  
  Transport Validation:
  
  If the variant was transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects, including work centers, were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the work center. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
