  Key Concepts: 
  Dependent master data type is a type of master data in SAP SCM-IBP Integrated Business Planning that is dependent on another master data type. This means that the dependent master data type cannot exist without the other master data type. For example, a product can only exist if it has a valid product group. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use dependent master data types, you must first create the other master data type that it is dependent on. Once this is done, you can then create the dependent master data type and link it to the other master data type. This will ensure that the dependent master data type is always linked to the other master data type and cannot exist without it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating dependent master data types, make sure to double-check that all of the necessary fields are filled out correctly and that all of the links between the two types of master data are correct. This will ensure that your dependent master data type is always linked to the other master data type and can be used properly.
