  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SS262 - Variant & successfully deleted ?

    The SAP error message SS262, which states "Variant & successfully deleted," typically indicates that a variant (a saved set of parameters for a report or transaction) has been successfully deleted from the system. This message is not an error in the traditional sense; rather, it is an informational message confirming that the deletion action was completed successfully.

    Cause:

    • The message is triggered when a user deletes a variant using the appropriate transaction (e.g., SE38 for ABAP programs, or other relevant transactions for reports).
    • The variant is no longer needed, or the user has decided to clean up unused or outdated variants.

    Solution:

    Since this message indicates a successful deletion, there is no action required to resolve an error. However, if you did not intend to delete the variant, you may want to consider the following steps:

    1. Check for Backup: If you have a backup of the variant or if it was exported previously, you can re-import it.
    2. Recreate the Variant: If the variant is essential, you can recreate it by going back to the transaction and setting the parameters again, then saving it as a new variant.
    3. Review Deletion Process: Ensure that you are aware of the implications of deleting variants in the future. If you are part of a team, communicate with your colleagues to avoid accidental deletions.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to variants include SE38 (for ABAP programs), SA38, and others depending on the specific report or transaction.
    • User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create, modify, or delete variants.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more information on managing variants and their significance in your specific business processes.
