  • What causes this issue?

    The number of meter reading orders to be estimated does not match the
    number of estimated meter reading results. Possible causes are:
    For one of the installations, meter reading control was defined that
    does not permit estimation (permitted number of automatic estimations =
    0)
    A register has reached the maximum number of estimations as defined in
    meter reading control for the installation.
    A previous result from one of the registers is implausible.
    One of the registers has an old meter reading order with a different
    meter reading reason.
    The following billing master data must be maintained:
    Minimum portion (in percent) of base period in forecast period in the
    rate of the register
    Reference value for extrapolation in rate of the register
    Weighting key in the register operand of the register
