Derivation structure &V1& is defined in Profitability Analysis. From
here the fields &V3& serve as source fields. The SAP System attempted
to find records for the characteristic values &V2& of these source
fields. The date used was &V4&

System Response

As no derivation rule for these characteristic values was defined, the
system registered an error.

How to fix this error?

Create a derivation rule for these characteristic values. The interval

  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the rules or structures needed for the derivation.
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the data being processed that prevent the system from applying the necessary rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., SPRO) and ensure that the necessary rules for the structure in question are defined.
  Look for the specific configuration related to the derivation of criteria, such as account determination or cost center assignment.
