• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IR220 - &1 measuring points not deleted: Measurement reading transfer defined ?

  The SAP error message IR220 indicates that there are measuring points that cannot be deleted because a measurement reading transfer has been defined for them. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) or Utilities Management (IS-U) modules, where measuring points are used to track consumption or performance metrics.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected that there are existing measurement readings associated with the measuring points you are trying to delete. Specifically, if a measurement reading transfer (which could be a transfer of data from one measuring point to another or from a measuring point to a system) has been defined, the system prevents the deletion of the measuring points to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Measurement Readings: Verify if there are any existing measurement readings associated with the measuring points you are trying to delete. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code IL03 for measuring points) and checking the readings.
  
  
  Delete Measurement Readings: If you find that there are measurement readings associated with the measuring points, you will need to delete these readings first. This can typically be done through the transaction for managing measurement documents (e.g., transaction code ELIM for IS-U).
  
  
  Check Measurement Reading Transfer: If there is a defined measurement reading transfer, you may need to review and possibly delete or adjust this transfer. This can involve checking the configuration settings or any related documents that reference the measurement reading transfer.
  
  
  Delete Measuring Points: Once you have removed any associated measurement readings and addressed the measurement reading transfer, you should be able to delete the measuring points without encountering the error.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the steps or the implications of deleting measurement readings or transfers, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IL03 (Display Measuring Point), ELIM (Delete Measurement Document), and IL02 (Change Measuring Point).
  Data Integrity: Understand the importance of maintaining data integrity in your SAP system, especially when dealing with measurement points and readings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or updates that may pertain to your specific version of SAP.
