  SAP Error Message: VPD001 &1 '&2' has not been created
  
  1. Cause:
  The error message VPD001 typically occurs when the system tries to access or use a variant (or a similar object like a layout, selection variant, or parameter variant) that has not been created or does not exist in the system.
  
  &1 represents the type of object (e.g., Variant, Layout, etc.).
  &2 represents the name of the object (e.g., the variant name).
  
  This means that the program or transaction is trying to reference a variant named &2 of type &1, but it cannot find it in the database.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Trying to execute a report or transaction with a variant that was deleted or never created.
  Calling a variant in a custom program or standard SAP report that does not exist.
  Transport issues where variants were not included or imported.
  User or program error where the variant name is misspelled or incorrect.
  
  
  2. Solution:
  To resolve the error:
  
  
  Check if the variant exists:
  
  Go to the transaction or report where the variant is used.
  Use the variant selection screen to check if the variant &2 exists.
  You can also use transaction SE38 or SA38 to run the report and check variants.
  
  
  
  Create the variant if it does not exist:
  
  Run the report or transaction.
  Enter the desired selection criteria.
  Save the variant with the name &2.
  Ensure the variant is saved as user-specific or global as required.
  
  
  
  Check spelling and naming:
  
  Verify that the variant name is correctly spelled in the program or transaction call.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has authorization to access the variant.
  
  
  
  Transport variants if needed:
  
  If the variant exists in the development system but not in production, transport the variant using the transport request.
  
  
  
  Debug or check custom code:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program, check the code where the variant is called.
  Make sure the variant name is passed correctly.
