  The SAP error message K8166, which states "Dependency quantities have been revaluated," typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and product costing. This error indicates that there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the dependency quantities used in the cost calculation process, often related to the revaluation of costs or quantities in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Revaluation of Quantities: The error usually arises when there are changes in the quantities that are dependent on other cost elements or when the system attempts to revalue these quantities based on new cost estimates or changes in the master data.
  Inconsistent Data: It can also occur due to inconsistencies in the data, such as changes in the material master, cost center, or activity type that affect the dependency quantities.
