• Key Concepts: 
  Attribute Value Derivation (AVD) is a feature of the Demand Data Foundation (DDF) component of SAP. It allows users to define rules for automatically deriving attribute values from other attributes. This helps to reduce the amount of manual data entry and ensures that data is consistent across the system.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use AVD, users must first define the rules for deriving attribute values. This can be done in the DDF configuration screen. Once the rules have been defined, they can be applied to any attribute in the system. When an attribute is changed, the AVD rules will be applied and the other attributes will be updated accordingly.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining AVD rules, it is important to consider how they will interact with each other. For example, if two rules are defined that both affect the same attribute, then one rule may override the other. It is also important to test the rules thoroughly before applying them to production systems.
