  Object Dependencies: These are used in configurable materials to define how different characteristics affect the production process. They can include rules for selecting operations, materials, and other parameters based on the configuration chosen by the customer.
  Routing Types: Different routing types can be defined in SAP to handle various production processes. Each routing type can have specific settings that determine how it interacts with other components in the system.
  Configuration in SAP: Ensure that your configuration settings for materials, routings, and object dependencies are consistent and correctly set up to avoid similar issues in the future.
