Hi

Object dependencies Describe the inter dependencies between characteristics and characteristic values and Control which components are selected from a bill of material (BOM) and which operations are selected from a task list. They Change the values of fields in BOM items and operations during configuration

The SAP System supports the following types of dependencies:

Preconditions : Used to hide characteristics and characteristic values that are not allowed and thereby ensure that the configuration of an object is consistent

Selection conditions : Used to select BOM component/Operation in Routing , if a specific value is assigned to a specific characteristic.

Procedures : Used procedures to infer values for characteristics

Constraints : The main purpose of a constraint is to monitor the consistency of a configuration
