How To Fix IR170 - MeasDoc. & no longer corresponds w. MeasPoint definition (see long text)

IR170 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IR - PM: IMRC - Measurement Readings and Counters

• Message number: 170

• Message text: MeasDoc. & no longer corresponds w. MeasPoint definition (see long text)

What causes this issue?

You are trying to reset the reversal indicator of a measurement
document, although the associated measuring point is no longer defined
as a counter or vice versa.

System Response

The system checks whether all the measurement documents for which a
reversal indicator has not been set correspond with the definition of
the measuring point.

How to fix this error?

If the current measurement document is a counter reading document that
has been reversed, you must first define the measuring point as a
counter. The requirement for this is that none of the measurement
documents that exist for the measuring point are measurement reading
documents, or that any counter reading documents that do exist are
reversed.
If the current measurement document is a measurement reading document,
the opposite applies.

  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:

  Deleted or Inactive Measurement Point: The measurement point associated with the measurement document may have been deleted or set to inactive status.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be incorrect or inconsistent data in the measurement document that does not align with the current definition of the measurement point.
