  Screen variants are used in SAP Controlling (CO) to customize the layout of a screen. They allow users to tailor the display of a screen to their individual needs, such as by changing the order of fields, hiding certain fields, or adding new fields. Screen variants can be used to create different versions of the same screen for different users or tasks. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a screen variant, go to the “Screen Variants” tab in the SAP Controlling (CO) module. Select the screen you want to customize and click “Create”. You can then make changes to the layout of the screen, such as adding or removing fields, changing field labels, and rearranging field order. When you are finished, click “Save” to save your changes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a screen variant, it is important to consider how it will be used. For example, if you are creating a variant for a specific user or task, make sure that all of the necessary fields are included and that they are arranged in an intuitive way. Additionally, consider using descriptive names for your variants so that they can be easily identified later on.
