  • What causes this issue?

    In dependent validation 07, the system checks the consumption ratio of
    registers with different usage types against a fixed value.
    &example&
    In the case of a double-rate meter, the consumption ratio is calculated
    using the following formula (OnP = on-peak and OffP = off-peak):

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

    ConsRatio = Consumption (OnP) / (Cons. (OnP) + Verbrauch (OffP) )
    Consumption (OnP) = 400
    Consumption (OffP) = 100
    ConsRatio = ( 400 / 500 ) = 0.8
    Fixed value = 0.9
    -> Meter readings are implausible
