This error indicates that the system is trying to apply the Joule-Thomson effect, which is a thermodynamic process that describes the temperature change of a real gas when it is allowed to expand freely, but it is not configured correctly for the billing type being used.
  
  Cause:
  
  Billing Type Configuration: The error usually arises when the billing type is not set to "thermal gas billing" (00). The Joule-Thomson effect is relevant only for thermal gas billing scenarios, where the temperature and pressure of the gas are taken into account for accurate billing.
  Incorrect Master Data: The master data for the gas measurement point or contract may not be set up correctly to support thermal gas billing.
  Measurement Type: The measurement
