How To Fix EL161 - Create weighting key with GEWVERF = '01' in table TE266

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EL - IS-U meter reading data processing

• Message number: 161

• Message text: Create weighting key with GEWVERF = '01' in table TE266

What causes this issue?

No weighting key must be specified in the rate for wattregisters.
However, for the extrapolation of wattregisters, you need an internal
weighting key, which has the linear weighting procedure '01' as its
basis, in order to correctly determine the representativity of an
interval. This is automatically read from table TE266 and can be freely
defined. In this way, the linear weighting procedure is automatically
set for wattregisters.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Maintain a weighting key in table TE266 with weighting procedure '01'.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EL161 - Create weighting key with GEWVERF = '01' in table TE266 ?

  The SAP error message EL161, which states "Create weighting key with GEWVERF = '01' in table TE266," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when dealing with the creation or maintenance of weighting keys for evaluation paths in the context of the SAP IS-U (Industry Solution for Utilities) module.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the system attempts to create or use a weighting key that does not exist in the table TE266. The specific value '01' for the field GEWVERF indicates a particular type of weighting key that is expected but not found in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Configuration: The required weighting key has not been created in the system.
  Incorrect Customization: The system configuration may not have been set up correctly, leading to the absence of the necessary entries in the TE266 table.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, the transport might not have included the necessary entries.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Table TE266:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 or SE16 to view the contents of table TE266.
  Look for entries with GEWVERF = '01'. If no entries exist, you will need to create one.
  
  
  
  Create Weighting Key:
  
  If the entry is missing, you can create a new weighting key in the table TE266.
  Use transaction code SPRO to navigate to the relevant configuration area:
  
  Go to SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Cross-Application Components > General Application Functions > Weighting Keys.
  
  
  Create a new entry with the required parameters.
  
  
  
  Review Customization:
  
  Ensure that all necessary configurations related to weighting keys are correctly set up in your system.
  Check if there are any dependencies or prerequisites that need to be fulfilled.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the configuration was supposed to be transported from another system, verify that the transport request included the necessary entries for TE266.
  If not, you may need to manually create the entries in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of your SAP system for any additional guidance or known issues.
