Summary :
When using reference characteristics to modify values through Object Dependency in SAP, the intended changes may not apply. This impacts specific fields in sales documents and routing operations. For sales documents, modifications encompass fields within the VCSD_UPDATE structure, including item-specific details such as weight, volume, and description. Enhancements involve user exits EXIT_SAPLCEI0_001 and EXIT_SAPFV45S_002. Routings allow changes to PLPO fields within PLPO_CFMOD like activity types and work center. However, adding fields to PLPO_CFMOD is a modification and may affect functionality. Additionally, changes to BOM items in the STPO table are limited to specific fields like item text and components.
