Summary :
When utilizing Transaction SHD0 in SAP, it's possible to create variants for specific transactions, leading to the generation of corresponding screen variants with names formatted as "_". However, within the SD-SLS transactions such as VA01, VA02—dynamic screen variants disrupt these custom variants. To effectively use newly defined variants in sales document processing, they must be manually assigned to the order type in Customizing (via field TVAK-VARIANT) as per SAP Note 332930, or choose the pre-existing NO_VARIANT. Failure to adhere to this setup results in the default SAP variants being applied instead, thus overriding the custom settings.
