• Key Concepts: 
  A transaction variant is a feature of the SAP Workbench Tools that allows users to customize the behavior of a transaction. It allows users to define the default values for fields, hide or display fields, and control the flow of the transaction. This helps users to quickly and easily complete transactions without having to manually enter data each time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Transaction variants can be created in the SAP Workbench Tools by selecting the “Create Transaction Variant” option from the menu. The user will then be prompted to enter the name of the transaction variant and select which fields they would like to customize. Once all of the desired settings have been entered, the transaction variant can be saved and used whenever that particular transaction is executed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a transaction variant, it is important to remember that any changes made will only apply when that particular variant is used. If multiple variants are created for a single transaction, it is important to remember which variant is being used in order to ensure that the desired settings are applied.
