• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VC2OD_DMT_ASSIST006 - AND-Condition using one and the same dependency not allowed (&1) ?

  The SAP error message VC2OD_DMT_ASSIST006 indicates that there is an issue with the use of an AND condition in a dependency where the same dependency is being referenced multiple times. This is a common issue when working with variant configuration in SAP, particularly when defining dependencies for configurable materials.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you try to use the same dependency (or condition) multiple times within an AND condition in a configuration model. In SAP's variant configuration, each condition should be unique within the context of an AND operation. The system does not allow the same condition to be evaluated more than once in a single logical expression.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Dependency Logic: Check the dependencies defined in your configuration model. Look for any AND conditions that reference the same dependency multiple times.
  
  
  Modify the Dependency: If you find that the same dependency is being used in an AND condition, consider restructuring your logic. You may need to:
  
  Combine the logic of the dependencies into a single dependency if they are meant to evaluate the same condition.
  Use OR conditions instead of AND if applicable, or create separate dependencies that can be evaluated independently.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error is resolved and that the intended logic is still functioning correctly.
  
  
  Documentation: Document the changes made to the dependencies for future reference and to help other users understand the configuration logic.
  
  
  Related Information:
