  The SAP error message VCH_HL_LOVC2AVC_COPY026 typically indicates an issue related to the assignment of a dependency in the context of variant configuration. This error can occur when there is a problem with the configuration of dependencies, such as constraints or rules that govern how different characteristics and values can be assigned to a product variant.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Dependency Configuration: The dependency (e.g., a constraint or a rule) may be incorrectly defined or may reference characteristics or values that do not exist or are not valid in the current context.
  Missing Characteristics: The characteristics that the dependency is trying to reference may not be assigned to the configuration profile or may not be available for the specific product variant.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing values or incorrect assignments that violate the rules defined by the dependencies.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the dependencies or characteristics, the system may be trying to access an outdated or incorrect version.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependency Definitions: Review the definitions of the dependencies involved (dependency &1 and &2) to ensure they are correctly configured. Make sure that all referenced characteristics and values are valid and exist in the system.
  Validate Characteristics: Ensure that all characteristics required by the dependencies are assigned to the configuration profile and are available for the product variant you are trying to configure.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the data to identify any missing or incorrect assignments. This can often be done using transaction codes like CU50 (Configuration) or CU01 (Create Dependency).
  Review Logs: Check the application logs for more detailed error messages or warnings that may provide additional context about the failure.
  Test with Simplified Configuration: If possible, try to simplify the configuration by removing some dependencies or characteristics to isolate the issue.
