• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRD110 - &1 variants created for different user/language combinations ?

  The SAP error message RSRD110 typically relates to issues with the creation of variants for reports in the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or Business Explorer (BEx) reporting tools. This error indicates that there are multiple variants created for different user/language combinations, which can lead to confusion or conflicts when users try to access or execute reports.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple User Variants: The error arises when the system detects that there are multiple variants for the same report that are created for different users or languages. This can happen if:
  
  Users create their own variants for the same report.
  Variants are created in different languages, leading to duplication.
  The system settings allow for variant creation without proper checks.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration settings in the BW or BEx environment may not be set up correctly, leading to the creation of unnecessary variants.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Users may have different authorizations that allow them to create or modify variants, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review and Clean Up Variants:
  
  Go to the transaction code for the report (e.g., RSRT for BEx queries) and check the variants that have been created.
  Identify and delete unnecessary or duplicate variants that are not needed.
  
  
  
  Standardize Variant Creation:
  
  Establish a standard procedure for creating variants to avoid duplication. This could involve limiting variant creation to specific users or roles.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Train users on how to effectively use variants and the importance of not creating multiple variants for the same report.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the BW/BEx environment to ensure that they are set up to prevent the creation of unnecessary variants.
  Consider implementing checks or restrictions on variant creation based on user roles or languages.
  
  
  
  Use of Global Variants:
  
  Encourage the use of global variants that can be shared across users and languages instead of individual user-specific variants.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSRT (BEx Query Designer), RSRV (for checking BW objects), and others that may help in managing variants.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to RSRD110 for specific patches or updates that may address this issue.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for best practices on managing variants in BW/BEx reporting.
  
  By addressing the root causes and implementing the suggested solutions, you can minimize the occurrence of the RSRD110 error and improve the overall reporting experience in your SAP environment.
