How To Fix VBDRV001 - The rule chosen is not suitable for the format of attribute &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VBDRV - Derivation of Batch Characteristics

• Message number: 001

• Message text: The rule chosen is not suitable for the format of attribute &1

What causes this issue?

The selection rule of attribute &V1& is not the required format (for
example, <DS:DE.RNAVG>average</> for a non-numerical attribute,
<DS:DE.RBAND>AND</> / <DS:DE.RBOR>OR</> for an attribute in date or
time format, or <DS:DE.RMUNION>union of sets</> /
<DS:DE.RMINTRSCN>intersection</> for a single-value characteristic or a
field).
This incorrect combination arises when the format of the attribute
changes after the condition record has been created.

System Response

The wrong condition record results in errors in derivation.

How to fix this error?

Delete the attribute and re-create it with a suitable selection rule.
