How To Fix EL184 - Dev.&1, reg.&2, MRdate &3: Impl. prev. MR rslts cannot be used f. estmtn

EL184 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 184

• Message text: Dev.&1, reg.&2, MRdate &3: Impl. prev. MR rslts cannot be used f. estmtn

What causes this issue?

The estimate cannot be extrapolated because a previous meter reading is
implausible, and the estimation is usually based on previous meter
reading results.
(In the case of a device replacement, this implausible meter reading
result can also be found in another earlier device with the same logical
register number.
If the previous meter reading result were corrected, that would mean
that the current estimated value is no longer correct.

System Response

The meter reading order in question is not estimated and is retained
with its current status.

  Cause:
  The error message EL184 indicates that the system is unable to use the results of previous material requirements for estimation purposes. This can happen due to several reasons, including:
  
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the material requirements or the planning results.
  Missing or Incorrect Master Data: The relevant master data (like material master, BOM, routing, etc.) may be missing or incorrectly configured.
  Date Issues: The material requirements date (MR date) may not align with the expected planning horizon or may be in the past.
  Previous Results Not Valid: The previous results may not be valid for the current estimation due to changes in the planning
