  Key Concepts: 
  A variant is a saved version of a report tree in SAP. It allows users to save different versions of the same report tree, each with its own set of parameters and settings. This allows users to quickly switch between different versions of the same report tree without having to manually adjust the settings each time.
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a variant, open the report tree in SAP and adjust the parameters and settings as desired. Once you are satisfied with the settings, click on the “Save Variant” button at the top of the screen. Enter a name for the variant and click “OK” to save it. To access a saved variant, open the report tree and click on the “Variants” button at the top of the screen. Select the desired variant from the list and click “OK” to load it.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a variant, it is important to give it a descriptive name that will help you remember what settings were used for that particular variant. This will make it easier to find and select the correct variant when you need it.
