Hi Suresh,
By Transaction variant are you refering to the Account Group, or default values on the first screen?
I am probably telling you what you are already aware of, but here goes:
Transaction Variants are used to:
1) Insert default values in fields
   Use features in the LSMW to populate the default values
2) Hiding and changing the ready for input status of fields
    The transaction recording will include all required input status fields as well as sny others that data was put into during the recording.  Any non mandatory field included in the transaction recording can be empty.
3) Hiding and changing the attributes of table control columns
   Any screen actions taking during the recording will be applied when the LSMW is run.  You may need to create multiple recording, if applying different formats to table controls.
4) Hiding individual menu functions
    A transaction recording for LSMW only uses the functions that were recorded.  Attempts during the processing of the generated BDC sessions to change the processing function will result in errors.
5) Hiding entire screens
    If no data is required on the screen the transaction recording can just process through to the next screen by applying the write function code.
The above transaction variant types for transaction XD01 are generally applied via account groups.  This is the very first field(RF02D-KTOKD) on the first screen(7100) displayed.
