How To Fix EL487 - Device &1, reg. &2, MR date &3: Interpolation of MR result not possible

EL487 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 487

• Message text: Device &1, reg. &2, MR date &3: Interpolation of MR result not possible

What causes this issue?

You cannot derive the meter reading result for &3 of device &1 and
register &2. This is because a real meter reading result exists in the
period between the control meter reading result and the meter reading
result to be derived.

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 whether the meter reading result at this point is to be derived at
all, or adjust the actual meter reading result.

EL487 - Details

• The SAP error message EL487 typically occurs in the context of the SAP system's handling of measurement documents, particularly when dealing with measurement readings and their interpolation. This error indicates that the system is unable to interpolate the measurement result for a specific device and registration date.
  
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  Missing Measurement Documents: There may not be enough measurement documents available for the specified device and registration date to perform interpolation.
  Incorrect Measurement Data: The measurement data might be incorrect or incomplete, leading to issues in calculating the expected values.
  
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration problems in the device or measurement point settings that prevent proper data processing.
  Time Gaps: If there are significant time gaps between measurement readings, the system may not be able to interpolate effectively.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EL487 error, consider the following steps:
  
  Check Measurement Documents: Verify that there are sufficient measurement documents for the device
