  The SAP error message C1123, which states "Object dependencies cannot be defined for value &," typically occurs in the context of variant configuration in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of object dependencies for a specific characteristic value in a configurable material.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Characteristic Value: The characteristic value you are trying to define dependencies for may not be valid or may not exist in the system.
  Missing Configuration: The object dependencies (such as constraints, procedures, or selection conditions) may not be properly defined for the characteristic or its values.
  Incorrect Dependency Type: The type of dependency you are trying to create may not be compatible with the characteristic or its values.

  Correct Dependency Type: Ensure that you are using the correct type of dependency for the characteristic. For example, if you are trying to create a selection condition, make sure it is appropriate for the characteristic.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify object dependencies. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
