• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TT090 - Variant & already exists ?

  The SAP error message TT090, which states "Variant & already exists," typically occurs when you are trying to create a new variant (for example, for a report or a transaction) with a name that already exists in the system. Variants in SAP are used to store specific settings for reports or transactions, allowing users to quickly access predefined configurations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to create a variant with a name that is already in use. Each variant name must be unique within the context of the report or transaction you are working with.
  Solution:
  To resolve the TT090 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Variants:
  
  Before creating a new variant, check if a variant with the same name already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report and looking for the variant list.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Name:
  
  If the variant name you are trying to use is already taken, consider using a different name that is unique.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Variant:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the existing variant to suit your needs or delete it if it is no longer required. This can be done through the variant management options in the relevant transaction.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the naming conventions or the context in which you are working, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify variants in the system.
