  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT379 - Skipping selection screen only possible when starting report with variant ?

    The SAP error message SRT379 indicates that the system is trying to skip the selection screen for a report, but this is only possible when the report is executed with a variant. This error typically occurs when a user attempts to run a report that is designed to be executed with predefined parameters (a variant), but they are not using a variant when starting the report.

    Cause:

    The primary cause of this error is that the report is configured to allow execution without displaying the selection screen only when a variant is specified. If you attempt to run the report without a variant, the system will not allow you to skip the selection screen, leading to this error message.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Use a Variant:

      • When executing the report, ensure that you select a variant that has been previously defined. You can do this by:
        • Going to the report execution screen.
        • Selecting the variant from the dropdown list or creating a new variant that includes the necessary selection criteria.
    2. Create a Variant:

      • If no suitable variant exists, you can create one:
        • Execute the report normally (without skipping the selection screen).
        • Enter the desired selection criteria.
        • Save the selection criteria as a variant by clicking on the "Save" button (usually represented by a disk icon) and providing a name for the variant.
    3. Check Report Settings:

      • If you have the necessary authorizations, check the report's settings in the ABAP program to ensure that it is configured correctly to allow for variant execution.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review the documentation for the specific report to understand its requirements and how to properly use variants.

    Related Information:

    • Variants in SAP: Variants are predefined sets of selection criteria that can be used to execute reports without having to enter the parameters each time. They are particularly useful for frequently run reports with consistent criteria.
    • Transaction Codes: You can manage variants using transaction codes like SE38 (for executing reports) and SE93 (for managing variants).
    • User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create and execute variants for the report in question.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SRT379 error and successfully execute the report with the desired parameters.
