FINB_CONFIG118 - Details

• The SAP error message FINB_CONFIG118 indicates that there are inconsistent dependencies between configurable components in a configuration scenario. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration in SAP, where different components or characteristics are interrelated, and the dependencies defined for them are not consistent.
  
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Dependencies: The error arises when the dependencies defined for configurable components (like characteristics, classes, or variants) do not align correctly. For example, if one characteristic is set to depend on another, but the reverse is not true or is incorrectly defined, it can lead to this error.
  Incorrect Configuration Settings: If the configuration settings for the components are not properly defined or if there are missing dependencies, this can trigger the error.
  Changes in Configuration: If changes were made to the configuration model (like adding or removing characteristics) without properly updating the dependencies, inconsistencies can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Dependencies: Check the dependencies between the configurable components. Ensure that all
