hi

Object Dependency

Selection of item, Restricting the selection &
changing the quantity of an item in the
BOM are done through Object dependencies
select condition, Precondition and
Procedure respectively

Dependencies

Dependencies let you do the following:
· Describe the interdependencies between characteristics and characteristic values
· Control which components are selected from a bill of material (BOM) and which
operations are selected from a task list
· Change the values of fields in BOM items and operations during configuration
You use a special syntax in the dependency editor to define dependencies.
The SAP System supports the following types of dependencies:
· Preconditions
· Selection conditions
· Actions (obsolete)
· Procedures
· Constraints
The differences between global and local dependencies are as follows:
· Global dependencies are created centrally and can be assigned to several objects.
· Local dependencies are created for one object and can only be used with this object.
