• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VBDRV071 - Derivation(s) flagged for confirmation (tree structure was adapted) ?

  The SAP error message VBDRV071 indicates that there are derivations in the condition technique that have been flagged for confirmation due to changes in the tree structure. This typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) or similar modules where condition records are derived based on certain criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in Condition Records: The error usually arises when there have been modifications to the condition records or the condition tables that affect the derivation logic.
  Adaptation of the Tree Structure: If the tree structure used for deriving conditions has been altered (e.g., adding or removing nodes), it can lead to inconsistencies that require confirmation.
  Inconsistent Data: If the data in the condition records does not match the expected structure or if there are missing entries, it can trigger this message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Confirm Derivations: You need to confirm the flagged derivations. This can typically be done in the SAP GUI by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., VK11, VK12 for condition records) and confirming the changes.
  Check Condition Records: Review the condition records to ensure that they are correctly set up and that there are no missing or incorrect entries.
  Rebuild the Tree Structure: If the tree structure has been modified, you may need to rebuild or adjust it to ensure that it aligns with the current condition records.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like V/06 (for condition types) or V/07 (for access sequences) to check and adjust the settings related to the condition records.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific condition type or pricing procedure you are working with for any additional guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition).
  Condition Technique: Understanding the condition technique in SAP, including how access sequences and condition tables work, can help in troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to the VBDRV071 message or provide updates and patches that could resolve the issue.
  Testing: After making changes, perform testing to ensure that the pricing logic works as expected and that the error does not reoccur.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
