• Key Concepts: 
  Parameter variant is a feature of the LO-ECH Engineering Change Management component in SAP. It allows users to define and store different sets of parameters for a particular object, such as a material or a document. This allows users to quickly switch between different parameter settings without having to manually enter each parameter every time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use parameter variants, users must first create a variant for the object they wish to modify. This can be done by selecting the “Create Variant” option from the menu in the LO-ECH Engineering Change Management component. Once the variant is created, users can then enter the desired parameters for that variant. Once saved, users can then select the variant from the menu and all of the parameters will be automatically applied. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating parameter variants, it is important to give them descriptive names so that they can be easily identified later on. Additionally, it is also important to save any changes made to a parameter variant as soon as possible in order to avoid any potential data loss.
