A programming error has occurred. The version dependencies were
specified incorrectly.

System Response

Cannot create new version or variant.

How to fix this error?

Notify SAP, or the programmer who implemented the incorrect code.
<ZH>The following conditions exist:</>
If you entered an old version, (SRM_VERSION_ID <> 0) you must also
enter a variant (SRM_VARIANT_ID<> 0).
If you entered an old version (SRM_VERSION_ID <>0), this version must
directly preceed the new version. This means before you created the new
version, the preceeding version must have been the newest version.
The original variant (SRM_VARIANT_TAG = 'OR') cannot be derived from
another variant (SRM_VARIANT_ID<> 0) of the same version
(SRM_VERSION_ID = 0). The original variant is always the first variant
of a version. Variants that are not original variants (SRM_VARIANT_TAG
<> 'OR') must be derived from a variant of the same version
(SRM_VERSION_ID =0).
