• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEBAPI020 - Object dependency for &1 &2 could not be read ?

  The SAP error message PPEBAPI020 indicates that the system was unable to read the object dependency for a specific object type and key. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration, where the system is trying to access configuration data that is either missing or incorrectly set up.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Missing Object Dependency: The object dependency (e.g., a class, characteristic, or dependency) that is being referenced does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the material or product may not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to retrieve the necessary dependencies.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object dependencies.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration data that prevent the system from reading the dependencies.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Dependencies:
  
  Verify that the object dependency exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (e.g., transaction code CU01 for creating dependencies).
