• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TT234 - Variant "&" not found. Only default values are displayed ?

  The SAP error message TT234, which states "Variant '&' not found. Only default values are displayed," typically occurs when a user tries to access a report or transaction that relies on a specific variant for its selection criteria, but the specified variant does not exist in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-existent Variant: The variant specified in the transaction does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The variant was deleted.
  The variant was never created.
  The user does not have authorization to access the variant.
  The variant is specific to a different user or client.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Naming: The variant name might have been misspelled or incorrectly entered.
  
  
  User-Specific Variants: Variants can be user-specific, meaning they are only available to the user who created them. If another user tries to access it, they will encounter this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Variant Name: Verify that the variant name is correctly spelled and matches the existing variants in the system.
  
  
  Create or Restore Variant:
  
  If the variant does not exist, you can create a new variant by going to the relevant transaction and saving the selection criteria as a new variant.
  If the variant was deleted, you may need to recreate it or restore it if you have a backup.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the variant. If the variant is user-specific, the user may need to create their own variant.
  
  
  Use Default Values: If the variant is not critical, you can proceed with the default values that are displayed, although this may not provide the desired results.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Security Team: If you suspect that the issue is related to authorizations or system settings, consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can check existing variants using transaction codes like SE38 (ABAP Editor) or SA38 (Execute Program) and then entering the program name to see the variants available.
  User-Specific Variants: Variants can be user-specific or global. Make sure to check the scope of the variant you are trying to access.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on managing variants in your specific SAP environment.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the TT234 error and successfully access the desired report or transaction with the appropriate variant.
