1.1       Dynamic Variants using TVARVC in SAP

Dynamic variants in SAP offer a powerful way to automate the selection of data based on specific conditions within purchase orders, reports, and other transactions. They utilize the TVARVC table to store variable values that adjust selection criteria dynamically.

Here's how dynamic variants work:

1. Create a Selection Variant:

• Navigate to the transaction or report where you want to use a dynamic variant.
• Access the "Selection Screen" or "Variants" menu option.
• Create a new selection variant.

1. Define Selection Criteria:

• Select "T" (TVARVC) for the selection variable type.
• Choose the relevant variable name (usually related to a characteristic).

1. Link to TVARVC Table:

• In the TVARVC table, define:
• Variable name: The same name chosen in step 2.
• Low Value: The lower limit of the condition (e.g., minimum value).
• High Value: The upper limit of the condition (e.g., maximum value).
• Operator: The comparison operator (e.g., "=", ">", "<").
• Reference: The characteristic code that triggers the condition.

1. Assign Characteristic Values:

• In the material master or other relevant master data, assign specific values to the characteristic referenced in the TVARVC table.

Example:

• You want a purchase order report to display information based on order values.
• Create a dynamic variant with a variable named "Z_VALUE" in the TVARVC table.
• Set the "Low Value" to "1000" and the "High Value" to "5000".
• Assign the characteristic "Z_ORDER_VALUE" to the "Reference" field.
• In the material master, assign values to the "Z_ORDER_VALUE" characteristic for different materials (e.g., material A = 2000, material B = 4000).

Benefits of Dynamic Variants:

• Automate selection criteria: Reduce manual adjustments for recurring conditions.
• Improve accuracy: Eliminate errors from manual selection, ensuring data consistency.
• Increase flexibility: Easily adjust selection parameters through the TVARVC table.

Additional Points:

• Access Sequences: Control the order in which multiple dynamic variables are applied.
• Condition Types: Define specific calculations or comparisons for dynamic values.
• Authorization: Ensure only authorized users can create and modify dynamic variants.

By understanding and utilizing TVARVC and dynamic variants, you can streamline data selection processes in various SAP functionalities, improving efficiency and data accuracy.
