How To Fix BIL100 - Meter reading document &1 date &2 is not suitable for reference doc. &3

BIL100 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BIL - General billing

• Message number: 100

• Message text: Meter reading document &1 date &2 is not suitable for reference doc. &3

What causes this issue?

The time sequence between the meter reading document and its referenced
previous meter reading result document is not consistent. The time-based
relationship between the previous meter reading document and the current
meter reading document does not match the time-based relationship
defined for quantity determination during meter reading.
During quantity determination, the system determines a meter reading
document and a referenced previous meter reading document for each meter
reading entry. The relevant meter reading results are analyzed in
billing and the time sequence is reconstructed.
To make sure that the quantities can be distributed to the correct
periods, the time sequences that were determined for quantity det
ermination during meter reading and during billing must match. This is
not the case here.
