• Key Concepts: 
  Derivation is a feature of the CRM-CEC Collaborative E-Care Management component of SAP. It allows users to create a new field in a database table by deriving its value from an existing field. This is done by using a formula to calculate the value of the new field based on the value of the existing field. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use derivation, users must first create a new field in the database table. Then, they must define a formula that will be used to calculate the value of the new field based on the value of the existing field. Finally, they must save the formula and activate it so that it can be used to derive values for the new field. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a derivation formula, it is important to make sure that all of the fields used in the formula are valid and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to test the formula before activating it to ensure that it produces accurate results.
