Variant Configuration (LO-VC)

Knowledge that describes the mutual interdependencies between objects. For example, you can define dependencies between characteristics and characteristic values such that 21-speed gears are only allowed for racing bicycles. You can also use object dependencies to ensure that the correct BOM items and operations are selected when an object is configured.

You describe object dependencies in a dependency editor using a special syntax.

There are different types of object dependencies for different purposes.

In product variant structures, local dependencies are used in the form of selection conditions for component variants.
