• Key Concepts: 
  A build variant is a feature of the SAP Change & Transport System (CTS) that allows users to create different versions of an object, such as a program or table. It is used to manage the development and transport of objects between different systems. The build variant allows users to create multiple versions of an object, which can then be transported between different systems. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the build variant feature, users must first create a build variant in the CTS. This can be done by selecting the “Create Build Variant” option from the CTS menu. Once the build variant has been created, users can then assign objects to it. This can be done by selecting the “Assign Objects” option from the CTS menu. Once the objects have been assigned to the build variant, they can then be transported between different systems. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a build variant, it is important to give it a descriptive name that will help identify it in the future. This will make it easier to find and manage the build variant when transporting objects between different systems. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all objects assigned to a build variant are compatible with each other before transporting them.
