SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 319

• Message text: &3 % over-estimation factor used for device &1, register &2

What causes this issue?

If the <DS:DE.UEFAKTOR1>overestimation factor</> in table TE411 has
been configured in excess of the tolerance limit, the meter reading
will fail the tolerance limit validation. If the meter reading was
automatically reset for this reason, release it. If not, it is
plausible.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EL319 - &3 % over-estimation factor used for device &1, register &2 ?

  The SAP error message EL319 indicates that there is an over-estimation factor being applied to a specific device and register in the context of energy management or utility billing. This message typically arises in the context of electricity or utility meter readings, where the system has detected that the estimated consumption is significantly higher than expected.
  Cause:
  
  
  Over-Estimation Factor: The error suggests that the system is using an over-estimation factor that exceeds a predefined threshold. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect configuration of the estimation parameters in the system.
  Anomalies in the meter readings, such as missing or erroneous data.
  A significant change in consumption patterns that the system is not accounting for.
  
  
  
  Data Quality Issues: If the meter data is not being captured correctly or if there are gaps in the data, the system may resort to using an over-estimation factor to calculate consumption.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: The settings for the estimation process may not be correctly configured, leading to inappropriate estimation factors being applied.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the estimation process in SAP. Ensure that the over-estimation factors are set correctly and are appropriate for the specific device and register.
  
  
  Check Meter Readings: Verify the actual meter readings for the device and register in question. If there are discrepancies or missing readings, address those issues first.
  
  
  Adjust Estimation Parameters: If the over-estimation factor is too high, consider adjusting the parameters that govern how estimations are calculated. This may involve changing thresholds or modifying the logic used for estimation.
  
  
  Data Quality Checks: Implement data quality checks to ensure that meter readings are accurate and complete. This may involve regular audits of meter data and processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on handling this error message. There may be additional context or steps provided by SAP that are relevant to your specific version or configuration.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They may provide insights based on the specific configuration and usage of your SAP system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide patches and updates.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to meter management and estimation processes, such as EL31 (for meter reading) or EL32 (for estimation).
  User Forums: Engage with SAP user communities or forums where similar issues may have been discussed, providing insights or solutions from other users' experiences.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the EL319 error effectively.
