How To Fix EEDM_RTP059 - Number of influencing intervals must be 1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EEDM_RTP - Messages for EDM RTP Project

• Message number: 059

• Message text: Number of influencing intervals must be 1

What causes this issue?

The input parameter is defined as a profile with a meter reading profile
(for consumption determination). The number of influencing intervals
must be 1 here, however the value entered is &V1&.

System Response

Correct processing (for example consumption determination) is only
possible if the number of influencing intervals is 1.
This is required to ensure that the formula is available to the meter
reading for both point in time t and t +1 when point in time t is
calculated, for example to determine a consumption as the difference
between these values for the point in time.

How to fix this error?

Correct your entry by deleting the "Meter Reading Profile" indicator or
setting the number of intervals to 1.
