How To Fix EE_TOUE040 - TOU exception valid-to time &1 does not match interval length &2

EE_TOUE040 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EE_TOUE - TOU Exception Messages

• Message number: 040

• Message text: TOU exception valid-to time &1 does not match interval length &2

What causes this issue?

The TOU exception program triggers a rate (using conditional billing
programs), in which the TOU interface has an interval length of &V2&.
The end time entered &V1& for the current TOU exception is not suitable
for this interval length.
Note that the end of a TOU exception must be exactly a second before the
start of an interval and be suitable for the interval length.
Example:
The interval length is 15 minutes. This means that a TOU exception
always starts exactly on the 15th minute. The end must always be exactly
one second before this time. Admissible values for the end time are
therefore 10:14:59, 10:29:59, 10:44:59 oder 10:59:59 Uhr.

  The SAP error message EE_TOUE040 indicates that there is a mismatch between the "valid-to" time and the expected interval length in a Time of Use (TOU) pricing scenario. This error typically arises in the context of energy management or billing processes where time intervals are defined for pricing purposes.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the "valid-to" date/time for a TOU pricing record does not align with the expected duration of the interval defined for that pricing. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The TOU pricing intervals may not be configured correctly, leading to discrepancies in the expected valid-to time.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry of dates or times may lead to incorrect values being inputted.
  Changes in Time Intervals: If there have been changes to the time intervals or pricing structures, the valid-to time may not have been updated accordingly.
  Overlapping Intervals: If there are overlapping TOU intervals, it can cause confusion in
