  Key Concepts: 
  The Dependency Editor is a tool in SAP's LO-VC Variant Configuration component that allows users to define dependencies between different characteristics of a product. It enables users to create rules that determine how the characteristics of a product interact with each other, allowing for more complex and accurate product configurations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Dependency Editor can be accessed from the Variant Configuration menu in SAP. Once opened, users can create rules that define how different characteristics of a product interact with each other. For example, a user could create a rule that states that if the color of a product is set to blue, then the size must be set to large. This rule would ensure that the product configuration is valid and accurate. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating rules in the Dependency Editor, it is important to consider all possible combinations of characteristics and ensure that all rules are valid and accurate. Additionally, it is important to test the rules before they are implemented to ensure that they are working as expected.
