  SAP Error Message:
  WZ092 Variant &1 for report &2 does not exist
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the system is trying to execute a report with a specific variant, but the variant specified does not exist in the system for that report.
  
  &1 = Variant name  
  &2 = Report name (program name)
  
  This usually happens when a report is called programmatically or via a transaction with a variant that has either been deleted, never created, or the variant name is misspelled.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Variant was deleted: The variant used earlier was removed from the system.
  Variant never created: The variant name specified does not exist.
  Typographical error: The variant name passed to the report is incorrect.
  Transport issues: Variant was not transported properly between systems (e.g., from development to production).
  Authorization issues: User does not have authorization to see or use the variant (less common, but possible).
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check if the variant exists:
  
  Go to transaction SA38 or SE38.
  Enter the report name (&2).
  Click on Variants ? Display.
  Check if the variant (&1) exists.
  
  
  
  Create the variant if missing:
  
  If the variant does not exist, create it with the required selection criteria.
  Save the variant with the exact name expected.
  
  
  
  Correct the variant name in the calling program or job:
  
  If the variant name is passed dynamically (e.g., in a background job or custom program), verify the spelling and correctness.
  Adjust the variant name to the correct one.
  
  
  
  Transport the variant:
  
  If the variant exists in development but not in production, transport the variant using transaction SE38 ? Variants ? Transport or manually recreate it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user running the report has authorization to use the variant.
  
  
  
  Check background job settings:
  
  If the report is scheduled as a background job, verify the variant assigned to the job.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Variants are used to save selection screen values for reports to simplify repeated executions.
  Variants are stored in table VARID.
  You can list variants for a report using transaction SE38 ? Variants ? Display or via program RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS.
