How To Fix EL269 - Dependent validation 05: Cosine phi not within tolerance limits

EL269 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 269

• Message text: Dependent validation 05: Cosine phi not within tolerance limits

What causes this issue?

The meter reading result failed dependent validation 05 (comparison of
cosine with previous period). The cosine phi of the meter reading
result exceeds the maximum deviation of cosine phi from the previous
period(s) specified in Customizing.

System Response

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EL269 - Dependent validation 05: Cosine phi not within tolerance limits ?

  The SAP error message EL269, which states "Dependent validation 05: Cosine phi not within tolerance limits," typically occurs in the context of electrical engineering applications within SAP, particularly when dealing with power factor calculations or electrical measurements.
  
  Cause:
  The error is related to the cosine phi (cos f), which is a measure of the phase difference between voltage and current in an AC electrical system. It indicates the power factor of the system. The error message suggests that the calculated value of cosine phi is outside the acceptable tolerance limits defined in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Measurement Data: The input data for voltage and current measurements may be incorrect or inconsistent.
  
  Configuration Issues: The settings or parameters in the SAP system related to electrical measurements may not be configured correctly.
  Faulty Equipment: There may be issues with the measuring equipment or sensors that are providing inaccurate readings.
  Calculation Errors: There could be
