This SAP article will guide you all about How to fix “Values of Variant is Saved for specified screens only” step by step with screenshots.
There is a business need to update one of SAP program RBDAPP01 variants to enable parallel solution to cut job runtime. When we tried to “save” our changes – packet size, server group etc., a window was popped up saying “Values of variant … saved for specified screens only”. Reviewing the variant again, our changes were partially saved- Changes on Idoc selection screen were saved but changes on screen of “Parallel Proc.” were not.
What does the message “Values of variant … is saved for specified screens only” means ? How to fix this?
If you are seeing a similar message during program variant change, this means the program has several selection screens, and you are entering data into at least one of selection screens which has NOT been selected for the variant. So data for the un-specified screen is not saved. To fix this, you need to
- Find out screen number of the specific screen ,
- Change the variant attribute to select the needed screen using the screen number and
- Then you can go ahead to update the data in the screen and your data would be saved.

Steps to fix “Values of Variant is Saved for specified screens only”

Changes were made in IDOC selection screen and “Parallel Proc.” Screen, following information pop-up window was showed when I tried to save the changes.

When you created a variant, you can specify selection screens needed for a variant. To fix the issue, you need to change variant attribute to include the needed screen. In this case, it is “Parallel Proc.” screen.
2 Find out screen number of selection screen
We need to verify screen number first. You can find screen number of your current sap screen via menu System -> status in the SAP window. Following screen shows that screen number is “1200″ for “Parallel Proc.” Screen.

3 Change attribute of program variant to include/select the needed screen
You can change program variant via S38 or directly from job step list screen of SM37. Figure 3 shows that the screen 1200 is not selected. That is why data on this screen cannot be saved.

Click the check-button prior to 1200 and save your screen attribute changes
4 Update the program variant in the new enabled selection screen
Since the Parallel Proc. Screen of RBDAPP01 is now included as part of the variant, we can enter and save our changes without any issue now. The pop-up window is gone and status message is saying “vales of variant * saved”- Issue resolved!
