How To Fix VSCE409 - Material &1 is used in object dependency &3 but is never instantiated

VSCE409 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VSCE - Messages for SCE

• Message number: 409

• Message text: Material &1 is used in object dependency &3 but is never instantiated

What causes this issue?

The specified object is used in dependencies. However, no instances of
the object have been created in a configuration for the current
knowledge base: It neither appears as an entry object for the
configuration in a knowledge base profile, nor in a bill of material.

System Response

The specified object is copied to the knowledge base runtime version,
but the corresponding dependency cannot be used during runtime. The
object and the referenced dependency are unnecessary uses of resources
(such as memory).

How to fix this error?

Check whether you can remove the relationship from the configuration
model.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VSCE409 - Material &1 is used in object dependency &3 but is never instantiated ?

  The SAP error message VSCE409 indicates that a material (denoted as &1) is referenced in an object dependency (denoted as &3) but has not been instantiated. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration, where object dependencies are used to define how materials can be configured based on certain characteristics.
  
  Cause:
  
  Uninstantiated Material: The material is defined in the object dependency but has not been instantiated in the configuration profile or variant configuration settings.
  Incorrect Dependency Logic: The logic in the object dependency may be incorrect, leading to a situation where the material is referenced but not properly instantiated.
  Missing Configuration: The configuration profile may not include the necessary settings to instantiate the material.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Dependency: Review the object dependency where the material is referenced. Ensure that the material is correctly defined and that the dependency logic is valid.
  Instantiate the Material: If the material is supposed to be instantiated, ensure that it is
