How To Fix AH447 - In installation &1, there is a register without a rate type

AH447 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AH - IS-U billing (master data)

• Message number: 447

• Message text: In installation &1, there is a register without a rate type

What causes this issue?

The register in installation &V1& was installed on &V2& with
<DS:DE.GERAET>device number</> &V3& and <DS:DE.E_ZWNUMMER>register
number</> &V4&. The rate type has not been maintained for this
register.
However, the register is relevant to billing due to its
<DS:DE.E_ZWTYP>register category</> and to the fact that the
<DS:DE.E_ZWNABR>register not relevant to billing</> field was not
selected.
Billing therefore requires a rate type for this register.

System Response

Meter reading order creation or billing of installation &V1& is
canceled. However, the meter reading order must be created at the
device level for certain meter reading reasons although the rate type
is missing. This is because the registers must be read.

How to fix this error?

If you want to bill the register, enter the rate type in the
installation structure.
If you do not want to bill the register, set the <ZH>Register not
relevant to billing</> indicator in the installation structure.
