hi,
The Purpose of transaction variants is to hide fields, menu functions, screens, to supply individual fields with default values or to change the ready for input status of one or more fields.
Using transaction variant, you can tailor screens to meet your required business process, and it can be used to accomplish security task, not directly supported by SAP’s security concepts.
A Transaction variant consist of a number of screen variants, customized to meet your requirements, Transaction variant only alters the layout of the screen. The Business processes delivered by SAP retain their integrity
