• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VC2OD_SP014 - No source code is maintained in dependency &1 ?

  The SAP error message VC2OD_SP014, which states "No source code is maintained in dependency &1," typically occurs in the context of variant configuration. This error indicates that there is a dependency (identified by &1) that does not have any associated source code. This can happen in scenarios where the dependency is expected to execute some logic but is missing the necessary code to do so.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Source Code: The dependency defined in the variant configuration does not have any source code associated with it. This could be due to an oversight during the configuration process.
  Incorrect Dependency Type: The dependency might be of a type that does not require source code, but it is being treated as if it does.
  Transport Issues: If the dependency was transported from another system, the source code might not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependency Definition: Go to the dependency in the configuration and check if the source code is indeed missing. You can do this by navigating to the dependency in the configuration settings.
  Maintain Source Code: If the dependency requires source code, you need to maintain it. This can be done by:
  
  Accessing the dependency in the configuration editor.
  Adding the necessary source code logic that defines how the dependency should behave.
  
  
  Review Dependency Type: Ensure that the dependency type is appropriate for your use case. If it is not supposed to have source code, you may need to adjust your configuration.
  Transport Check: If the dependency was transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including source code, were included. If not, you may need to re-transport the missing objects.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error is resolved and that the dependency behaves as expected.
