  The SAP error message PMEVC_UI139 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of a dependency in a variant configuration scenario.

  Check Process Modes: Review the process modes of both the dependency and the configuration context. Ensure that they are compatible. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Modify Dependency: If the dependency is not suitable for the current configuration, consider modifying it to match the required process mode or creating a new dependency that fits the context.
  Review Configuration Profile: Ensure that the configuration profile settings are correctly set up to allow for the assignment of the dependency. This may involve checking the settings in the configuration profile for the material in question.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on process modes and dependencies in variant configuration.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration again to ensure that the error is resolved.
