How To Fix AJ525 - No interval meter rate allocated to rate type &1 and rate category &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AJ - Billing program

• Message number: 525

• Message text: No interval meter rate allocated to rate type &1 and rate category &2

What causes this issue?

Rate type &v1& is <DS:DE.USE_RTP>permitted for interval meters</>.
In the rate determination, these rate types are generally allocated to
rates that are also permitted for interval meters. An ambiguous rate
determination can also allocation rates that are
<DS:DE.USE_FACTS>permitted for facts</>.
However, in this case at least one interval meter rate must be
allocated to the rate type so that an <DS:DE.E_RTPINTERFACE>RTP
interface</> can be determined.
However, on key date &V3& there is no interval meter rate allocated to
this rate type combined with rate category &V2&. This means that the
rate determination is inconsistent.
