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

SAP Error Message - Details

• 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.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IR170 - MeasDoc. & no longer corresponds w. MeasPoint definition (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message IR170 indicates that there is a discrepancy between a measurement document (MeasDoc) and the measurement point (MeasPoint) definition in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) or Utilities (IS-U) modules, where measurement documents are used to record readings from measurement points.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Changes in Measurement Point Definition: The measurement point definition may have been changed after the measurement document was created. This could include changes to the measurement point's characteristics, such as its type, location, or other attributes.
  
  
  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.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that affect how measurement points and documents are related.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IR170 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Measurement Point Definition: Review the measurement point definition in the system to ensure it is active and correctly configured. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., IL03 for measuring points in PM).
  
  
  Review Measurement Document: Check the measurement document associated with the error. Ensure that it corresponds to the current definition of the measurement point. You can use transaction code IL04 to view measurement documents.
  
  
  Recreate Measurement Document: If the measurement point has been changed or is no longer valid, you may need to delete the existing measurement document and create a new one that aligns with the current measurement point definition.
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you suspect that there are configuration issues, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the measurement points and documents are set up correctly.
  
  
  Check for System Notes or Updates: Sometimes, SAP releases notes or updates that address specific issues. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes related to this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IL03 (Display Measuring Point), IL04 (Display Measurement Document), and IL02 (Change Measuring Point).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on measurement points and measurement documents.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the IR170 error and implement a suitable solution.
