• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAMDT_VALIDATIONS014 - More than one outgoing derivation from derivative &1 is invalid ?

  The SAP error message SAMDT_VALIDATIONS014 indicates that there is an issue with the derivation of a derivative in the system. Specifically, it means that there is more than one outgoing derivation from a derivative that is considered invalid. This can occur in various contexts, such as in the configuration of financial instruments, derivatives, or other related modules.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Derivations: The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected multiple outgoing derivations from a single derivative, which is not allowed. This can happen if the configuration of the derivatives is not set up correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the derivation rules or the way the derivatives are defined in the system.
  Data Integrity: There could be inconsistencies or errors in the master data related to the derivatives, leading to multiple derivations being defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Derivation Rules: Check the derivation rules for the specific derivative mentioned in the error message. Ensure that there is only one valid outgoing derivation defined.
  Correct Configuration: If multiple derivations are found, you will need to correct the configuration to ensure that only one valid derivation exists. This may involve removing or modifying the invalid derivations.
  Data Validation: Validate the master data associated with the derivative to ensure that it is accurate and does not contain duplicates or inconsistencies.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or configuration guides related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP Treasury, SAP Financial Services) for detailed instructions on how to set up derivatives and their derivations correctly.
  Testing: After making changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration best practices.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to derivatives and their configuration, such as TPM1, TPM2, or TPM3, depending on your specific SAP version and module.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in the relevant module.
  
  By addressing the configuration and ensuring that there is only one valid outgoing derivation, you should be able to resolve the error message SAMDT_VALIDATIONS014.
