Summary :
SAP Note discusses issues when adjusting Transaction ME21N (Enjoy purchase order) and ME51N (Enjoy Purchase Requisition) using screen or transaction variants. Key problems include field values set in variants not being transferred to the purchasing documents, screens being processed only when the screen area is displayed, and an inability to hide tabstrips at header or item level. These issues arise due to the 'one-screen transaction' design that separates user interface from business logic, causing failure in passing data to business logic if the screen area is not active.
