• Key Concepts: 
  A selection variant is a feature in SAP PP-BD Basic Data that allows users to save and reuse their selection criteria for a particular transaction. This helps to reduce the amount of time spent entering the same criteria each time the transaction is used. The selection variant also allows users to quickly access the data they need without having to manually enter the criteria each time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a selection variant, users must first define the selection criteria for the transaction. This can be done by entering the desired values in the appropriate fields. Once the criteria have been defined, users can save it as a selection variant by clicking on the “Save” button. The selection variant can then be accessed by selecting it from the drop-down list in the transaction. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a selection variant, it is important to give it a descriptive name so that it can be easily identified later on. Additionally, users should make sure that they save their selection variants regularly in order to avoid losing any changes they have made.
