How to delete the Variant in SE16N transaction

Updated May 18, 2018

In SE16N, several users can create a variant of the same name but with different content. In other words, the variant AAA can be created by both user X and user Y.

After you do this, you always have the option to enter the user name of the variant. In other words, you can decide whether you want to open, delete or overwrite the variant AAA of the user XX or the variant AAA of your user name.
Variants that have the "user-specific" indicator cannot be changed by other users.
It is possible to create variants for other users (including protected variants). In some cases, this can be useful, for example, for central rollouts.

For deleting Variant in SE16N, Enter the table name>Goto Variant>Press Delete

After deleting the Variant if it stills coming in the F4  HELP, Check if there exist an entry for the variant in any of the below tables:

VARID, VARIT, VARIS, VARI

Try with the input to the report as *Tablename. If an entry exist, then delete the entry

Ensure that while deleting the variant, you select delete variant "In all clients".
