&V1&. However, you have not selected the oldest billing order for this
installation (scheduled billing date &V2&, billing procedure &V3&).
Therefore, no MDUS request was created.

System Response

You can only create an MDUS request for the oldest billing order of each
installation. You can only create an MDUS request for a more recent
billing order once the older one has been billed.

How to fix this error?

If you want to create an MDUS request for the oldest billing order, use
the selection criteria to find this billing order. If you want to create
an MDUS request for other billing orders of the same installation, you
must first bill the oldest billing order.
