  Key Concepts: 
  A selection variant is a feature in SAP Logistics that allows users to save and reuse their selection criteria for a report. This helps to reduce the amount of time spent entering the same criteria each time a report is run. The selection variant can be used to filter data based on specific criteria, such as material type, plant, or storage location. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a selection variant, first enter the desired criteria into the report. Once the criteria have been entered, click on the “Save” button to save the selection variant. The selection variant can then be reused by selecting it from the drop-down list in the report. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a selection variant, it is important to give it a descriptive name so that it can be easily identified when selecting from the drop-down list. Additionally, it is possible to share selection variants with other users by using the “Share” button.
