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

• Message number: 366

• Message text: Final billing order &2 exists after removal date &1

What causes this issue?

You tried to remove device &v3&. This is not possible, because the
removal of &v1& is followed by a move-out on &v2&, for which a final
billing request exists for installation &v4&.
The removal cannot be performed, since the installation would otherwise
not have a metering device at the time of the final billing, which
means no final billing would be possible.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Check the removal date of the device. Make sure the removal meter
reading is not entered on the transaction date, but instead on the day
before (at 11:59 p.m.)
Choose a transaction date that lies at least one day after the
move-out.
