EL464 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 464

• Message text: Subsequent MR result from &3 already estimated for device &1, reg. &2

What causes this issue?

Device &V1&, Register &V2& is a balancing register for which automatic
estimation has already been performed for the subsequent meter reading
result from &v3&.
In the case of a balancing register, the estimated value is not only
based on meter reading results from the base period or the period
consumption but also on the period since the last meter reading. If
another meter reading result has been estimated or entered for this
period, the estimation period for &V3& is changed and the estimated
value becomes invalid.

System Response

The process is rejected.

How to fix this error?

You must estimate or enter multiple meter reading results in ascending
order starting with the earliest. If necessary, you must cancel any
later existing results and reestimate or reenter them in the correct
order.
