  Key Concepts: 
  A derivation rule is a feature of the Financial Condition Analysis (FS-AM-PR-PR) component of SAP software. It is used to define the conditions under which a certain value or set of values should be derived from another value or set of values. This allows for the automatic calculation of values based on predetermined criteria. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Derivation rules are used to define the conditions under which a certain value or set of values should be derived from another value or set of values. This allows for the automatic calculation of values based on predetermined criteria. To use a derivation rule, you must first define the conditions that must be met in order for the rule to be applied. Once these conditions have been defined, you can then specify the value or set of values that should be derived from the original value or set of values. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating derivation rules, it is important to ensure that all conditions are clearly defined and that all values are correctly specified. Additionally, it is important to test the rule before applying it in order to ensure that it works as expected.
