Transaction Variants and menu function

Question

Hi,
When using transaction variants for cutomization (for screen view layout) am encountering the following:
The customized view is diplayed when the t-code with the transaction variant is entered. However, when using the customization and then we try to go into a different mode through the menu option the screen view will go back to the standard view.
Example: for MM01 a transaction variant ZFG01 was created. When in ZFGO1 (enter the t-code ZFG01)and then you go to the menu-display the screen view is that of MM02 and not the customized view of ZFG02
Any advise on this please.
Thank you

Steps :-
Transaction SHD0 - Create a variant for the required transaction bychanging the layout through hiding fields and screens.
Transaction SE93 - Create a variant transaction (e.g. for VA02 you canname it as ZA02). Next allocate the transaction variant to this varianttransaction.
Create and change the Zxxx area menu with the new transaction variant. In this way, the user does have to remembers any extra transaction codes.
In 4.6c, you can default your transaction variant as the standard variant. (SHD0 - Edit -> Activate/Deactivate asstandard variant)
An example for using transaction variant (restricting the field displayfor CO11N - Goods movement) :-
If you want to restrict changes to the fields in Goods movement forone group of users.
1. Create a transaction variant for CO11N
2. Create a new transction code for the transaction variant and assign an authorization object to it
3. Divide the users into this two transaction code. Those who can change the field using CO11N. For those that have limited
field change, give them the authorizationfor ZCO11 (this is a new transaction code you have to create).
