For more details on business Skills and functionalities associated with business capabilities, see Defining the business skills and functionalities associated with business capabilities.Defining business capability dependencies
A dependency link between one capability composition and another is used to specify the elements on which this dependency is based.
For example, “Billing” uses “Order Management”. Note that the expected result (business effect) of "Billing" is an "Invoice" and the expected result (business effect) of "Order Management" is a "Order to be delivered".
Dependent Business Effect and Desired Business Effect are the business capability results.
A single capability composition can have more than one dependency within a single diagram.To create dependency links between two capability compositions:
From the object inserting bar, click the Business capability dependency 
button and connect the dependent business capability to the required business capability. To enter the results concerned by a dependency between two business capability components:
1. Open the Characteristics properties dialog box.
2. Fill the Dependent Business Effect field with the result of the user component.
For example, “Invoice”.
3. Fill the Desired Business Effect field with the result of the component used.
For example, “Order to be delivered”.
