In the context of SAP BRIM, the Advanced Variant Configurator (AVC) is used to model complex, configurable subscription products. Dependencies (C) are the fundamental building blocks used to define the logic and relationships between product characteristics (e.g., preconditions, selection conditions, procedures). They are essential for modeling the structure of any configurable product. Variant conditions (A) are a specific feature used to determine the price of the product based on the options selected by the customer. This is critical in SAP BRIM for calculating recurring and one-time charges for subscription contracts. While BRF+ can also be used, dependencies are the primary and foundational mechanism for modeling.

B. BRF+: While AVC can integrate with BRF+ for very complex rules, dependencies are the more fundamental and standard feature for modeling the core configuration logic.

D. Service-Level Agreement: An SLA is a business contract defining service performance levels; it is not a technical feature within the Advanced Variant Configurator used for product modeling.

"Dependencies": "Dependencies describe the interdependencies between characteristics and characteristic values. They are used to control the configuration process and to make sure that the configuration is complete and consistent." This confirms dependencies are the core modeling tool.

"Variant Pricing in Sales Documents with Advanced Variant Configuration": "You can use variant conditions to define surcharges and discounts for a variant of a configurable material... When you configure the material in the sales document

the system uses the variant conditions to calculate the final price." This confirms the role of variant conditions in modeling the commercial aspect of the product.

"Products in Subscription Order Management": "You can use configurable products to offer your customers a product with different features (for example

different bandwidths for an internet contract). The product configuration is based on the Advanced Variant Configuration (AVC) engine." This establishes the link between BRIM (Subscription Order Management) and AVC.
