correspondence variant - Details


  • Key Concepts: Correspondence variant is a feature of the SAP General Application Functions (CA-GTF) component that allows users to create and manage multiple versions of a document template. This feature enables users to quickly and easily create documents such as letters, emails, and faxes in different languages or formats. The correspondence variant also allows users to store and manage different versions of the same document template, making it easier to switch between them when needed.
    How to use it: To use the correspondence variant feature, users must first create a document template in the SAP system.
