In the object dependency, you can process any information from the current sales order. Therefore, you need the corresponding reference characteristics.

For constraints, the reference characteristics must be included in the variant class (characteristic with interface display without display).
Name of the table field using:
→ F1 Help
→ Technical Info

You can also use individual fields of the sales order item directly using object dependencies. These are:
Gross and Net Weight + Unit
Volume + Unit
Cumulated order quantity + sales unit
Numerator + Denominator for Conversion from Sales Unit to SKU
Target Quantity + Target Unit of Measure
Numerator + Denominator for Conversion of ToU to SKU
Short Text
With:
SKU (stockkeeping unit)
- ToU (target unit of measure)
You require reference characteristics with reference to the structure VCSD_UPDATE.
For constraints, the reference characteristics must also be included in the variant class (characteristic with interface display without display).

In table SDCOM, in the VKOND field, you maintain variant conditions that are used to determine surcharges and discounts during characteristic value assignment. This is done by referring to these fields in object dependencies using reference characteristics or by creating the link in characteristic maintenance.
In purchasing, the field VKOND of the table MMCOM is used for the maintenance of variant conditions.
Not all fields can be changed in table PLPO. Structure PLPO_CFMOD defines which fields these are. In the same way as table PLPO, you can work with table ESSL in sample service specifications.
You can refer to the sales order tables listed in the graphic in reference characteristics. However, you can only have read-only access to these table fields in object dependencies. The field values can't be changed using object dependencies. Other tables of the sales order that you can also access in read mode are the address data of the contract partners in VBADR_AG, VBADR_WE, VBADR_RE, and VBADR_RG.
With:
STPOB = Document table
STPO MDSP = View of BOM items and material master for BPLA
POSVID = iPPE – Variant
PAMODD = Duration of an activity-resource relationship
In the configuration of material variants, you can access the material master tables MARA, MARC, and MAKT in read mode.
SCREEN_DEP
You can override settings in the Characteristic definition via structure SCREEN_DEP.
The next figure shows you an example: SCREEN_DEP-NO_INPUT.
