What causes this issue?

<DS:GLOS.measurement_reading>Measurement</> and
<DS:GLOS.counter_reading>counter readings</> can be transferred from
the current <DS:GLOS.measuring_point>measuring point</> to other
measuring points. Some of these measuring points are currently locked
by other users. Measurement readings cannot be transferred to the
measuring points that are locked.
Other problems can also occur. For example, an uncanceled measurement
document, whose measurement time is the same as that in the current
document for which the counter reading should be transferred, can exist
for a counter reading transfer to the receiving
<DS:GLOS.measuring_point>measuring point</>.

System Response

The measuring points that are locked are stored in a special database
table. You can evaluate the contents of this table and transfer the
measurement readings to the measuring points concerned later.

How to fix this error?

Call up the function <LS>Take up MR transfer</> at a later time.
