• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMEVC_UI481 - Dependency &1 at configuration profile &2 of material &3 is not released ?

  The SAP error message PMEVC_UI481 indicates that there is a dependency in the configuration profile of a material that has not been released. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration in SAP, where certain dependencies (like constraints or rules) must be activated or released for the configuration profile to function correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Unreleased Dependencies: The specific dependency mentioned in the error message is not released, meaning it cannot be used in the configuration process.
  Configuration Profile Issues: The configuration profile itself may have issues that prevent it from being fully operational.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, it may not have been properly released in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Release the Dependency:
  
  Go to the transaction code CU50 (Configuration Profile) or CU01 (Create Dependency).
  Locate the dependency indicated in the error message.
  Check its status and release it if it is not already released.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Profile:
  
  Ensure that the configuration profile for the material is correctly set up and that all dependencies are released.
  You can use transaction CU02 to modify the configuration profile if needed.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the configuration was transported, ensure that all related objects (dependencies, profiles) were transported correctly and are in the correct status in the target system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After releasing the dependency, test the configuration again to ensure that the error is resolved.
