  Key Concepts: 
  Object dependencies are a feature of SAP's LO-VC Variant Configuration component. They allow users to define relationships between different objects in the system, such as materials, characteristics, and classes. This allows users to create complex configurations that can be used to customize products and services. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Object dependencies can be used to define relationships between different objects in the system. For example, a user can define a relationship between a material and a characteristic, or between two characteristics. This allows users to create complex configurations that can be used to customize products and services. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating object dependencies, it is important to consider the order in which the objects are related. For example, if a material is related to a characteristic, the material should be listed first. This will ensure that the correct configuration is created when the object dependencies are applied.
