How To Fix COM_PME_PARSER406 - Restriction of value set via dependencies not yet supported: &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_PME_PARSER - Configuration

• Message number: 406

• Message text: Restriction of value set via dependencies not yet supported: &1

What causes this issue?

Inferences (restrictions) for restrictable characteristics are
currently only supported in connection with a table call.
Example:
If the two restrictable characteristics ?X and ?Y are entered in the
restriction ?X >= 2*?Y + 5, you cannot use the value set of ?Y to infer
a restriction for the value set of ?X, and you cannot use the value set
of ?X to infer a restriction for the value set of ?Y. This option is to
be made available in future.

System Response

Inference of restrictions to a value set that are not from a table call
cannot currently be processed and is marked as incorrect.

How to fix this error?

Only use single-value characteristics in such situations for now.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER406 - Restriction of value set via dependencies not yet supported: &1 ?

  The SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER406 indicates that there is an issue with the restriction of a value set via dependencies in the context of a configuration or variant configuration scenario. This error typically arises when you are trying to use dependencies to restrict the values of characteristics in a way that is not supported by the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are attempting to apply a dependency that restricts the values of a characteristic, but the system does not support this type of restriction for the specific configuration scenario you are working with.
  The dependencies may be incorrectly defined or not applicable to the context in which they are being used.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Dependencies: Check the dependencies that you have defined for the characteristics involved. Ensure that they are correctly set up and applicable to the configuration scenario.
  
  
  Check Compatibility: Verify that the dependencies you are trying to use are compatible with the characteristics and the configuration model. Some types of restrictions may not be supported in certain contexts.
  
  
  Simplify Dependencies: If possible, simplify the dependencies or remove complex restrictions that may be causing the issue. 
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to variant configuration and dependencies to understand the limitations and supported scenarios.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on how to handle dependencies in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the desired behavior is achieved.
  
  
  Seek Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Dependencies in SAP: Dependencies are used in variant configuration to control the values of characteristics based on the values of other characteristics. Understanding how to properly define and use dependencies is crucial for successful configuration.
  SAP Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings and options available in your SAP system, as these can impact how dependencies are processed.
  Error Handling: Learn about common error handling practices in SAP, which can help you troubleshoot similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
