When Bolzano discusses the relation between deducibility and grounding, he remarks that even though he lacks a proof for this claim, it seems quite obvious to him that if a truth is deducible from its complete ground, grounding is preserved under variation.

This is even a case of logical deducibility. Grounding and deducibility are thus compatible. Bolzano is not sure, though, whether grounding always goes hand in hand with deducibility.
Academic text (2016) -
Exact deducibility is thus too weak a requirement in the sufficient condition, as it allows for cases that are in conflict with Bolzano's necessary conditions for grounding.
Academic text (2016) -
Clearly, Bolzanian deducibility resembles the Tarskian notion of logical consequence in several respects.

Academic text (2016) -
The most important relational properties of Bolzano's notion of grounding can nicely be introduced by contrasting grounding with deducibility.

Being spelled out on the basis of Bolzano's notion of deducibility (Ableitbarkeit), these principles are revealing for the question of to what extent grounding can be considered a formal relation.
Academic text (2016) -
Secondly, and more importantly for what follows, deducibility is a ternary relation. It obtains between a collection of premises, a conclusion, and a collection of ideas that are considered to be variable. A result of this is that there are arguments that are deductively valid with respect to some collection of ideas they contain, although they are not logically valid.

In mathematics, the deducibility of a theorem from axioms shows how deeply its truth is rooted.

Etymology
The word deducibility comes from de- 'from' and duc- 'to lead', the same root you see in produce and reduce. So, if something has deducibility, it can be 'led from' facts to a conclusion — in other words, it can be figured out from the evidence.
