• SAP Tcode: KE3S - Define Variant Group

  
  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code KE3S is used to define variant groups in the SAP system. A variant group is a collection of related variants that can be used to control the behavior of a program or report. Variants are used to store user-defined settings for a program or report, such as selection criteria, sorting criteria, and output options. 
  
  Functionality: 
  The KE3S transaction code allows users to create, change, and delete variant groups. It also allows users to assign variants to a variant group and to assign a default variant to the group. The default variant will be used when the variant group is called in a program or report. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Enter the KE3S transaction code in the command field. 
  2. Select “Create” from the menu bar. 
  3. Enter a name for the variant group and select “Save”. 
  4. Select “Variants” from the menu bar and enter the name of the variant you want to assign to the group. 
  5. Select “Assign” from the menu bar and select “Default Variant” from the drop-down list. 
  6. Select “Save” from the menu bar and enter a description for the variant group if desired. 
  7. Select “Activate” from the menu bar to activate the variant group. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is recommended that users create a separate variant group for each program or report they are using, as this will make it easier to manage and maintain variants in the future. Additionally, users should always assign a default variant to each variant group, as this will ensure that all programs and reports using that group will always have valid settings available when they are executed.
