• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPECOL303 - When the standard indicator is set, object dependencies are not evaluated ?

  The SAP error message PPECOL303 typically occurs in the context of variant configuration when working with object dependencies in SAP. This message indicates that when the standard indicator is set for a configuration profile, the system does not evaluate the object dependencies associated with that profile. 
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the configuration profile has been set to use the "standard" indicator, which means that the system will not evaluate any object dependencies (such as constraints, selection conditions, or procedures) that are defined for the configurable material. This can lead to incomplete or incorrect configurations, as the dependencies that dictate how the configuration should behave are ignored.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration Profile Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration profile of the material in question.
  Verify if the "standard" indicator is set. If it is, consider changing it to allow for the evaluation of object dependencies.
  
  
  
  Modify Object Dependencies:
  
  If you need to keep the standard indicator for some reason, you may need to adjust your object dependencies to ensure they are compatible with the standard configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that the object dependencies are correctly defined and that they are necessary for the configuration you are trying to achieve.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration again to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the object dependencies are being evaluated as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on configuration profiles and object dependencies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Object Dependencies: These are rules that define how different characteristics of a configurable product relate to each other. They can include constraints, selection conditions, and procedures.
  Configuration Profiles: These are settings that determine how a configurable material behaves during the configuration process. They can include various indicators that affect the evaluation of dependencies.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling configuration issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
