How To Fix VBDRV035 - Disallowed symbol in TRUE/FALSE field for numerical attribute

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VBDRV - Derivation of Batch Characteristics

• Message number: 035

• Message text: Disallowed symbol in TRUE/FALSE field for numerical attribute

What causes this issue?

You determined a Boolean selection rule for attribute &V1&.
Non-numerical attributes are stored in the fields <DS:DE.RBTRUE>TRUE</>
and <DS:DE.RBFALSE>FALSE</> although the format of the attribute is
numerical.
As a result, you cannot compare the sender attributes with the contents
of the fields TRUE and FALSE or assign TRUE or FALSE after the
derivation has been carried out.

System Response

The derivation is assigned the status 'Completed with error'.
If the derivation is static, it is stored, but the system does not make
changes to the master data or the characteristics of the receiving
batch.

How to fix this error?

Correct the receiver condition record.
For static derivations: Repeat the derivation or correct the derived
values in the receiving batch manually.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
