  • Message type: E = Error

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

  • Message number: 516

  • Message text: Installation &1: Reversal document number copied to other billing order

  • Show details Hide details
  • Call parameters:
    V1 = Installation number
    V2 = Billing transaction for billing order to be suppressed
    V3 = Billing transaction for suppressor (two-digit) -
    in contrast to message EL515, the call here is only intended for
    billing-relevant suppressors
    V4 = SC_BELNR for the billing order to be suppressed

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

    What causes this issue?

    In the transaction running for installation &V1& it was established that
    , in accordance with the settings in the suppression logic, a billing
    order with billing transaction &V2& is to be suppressed by a billing
    transaction &V3& with a higher priority. However, the billing order to
    be suppressed resulted from an adjustment reversal of document number
    &V4&, which cannot be deleted.

    System Response

    The adjustment reversal document number is transferred to the billing
    order with the higher priority (and is then included in the billing for
    this order instead of the original billing order for which an adjustment
    reversal was carried out). Under certain circumstances this can mean
    that the running transaction can no longer be reversed. This is the case
    if the invoicing for the document, for which an adjustment reversal was
    carried out, was not also reversed.

    How to fix this error?

    To avoid this, cancel the transaction that is running, use transaction
    <DS:TRAN.EA24>EA24</> to remove adjustment reversal document number &V4&
    from the billing order, and restart the transaction that was running.
