  The SAP error message KJCCSJ3_BI01020 indicates that there is an issue with the meter reading type in the context of billing or meter data management. Specifically, it suggests that a meter reading of type '05' (which typically represents a certain category of meter reading, such as a final reading or a specific type of consumption reading) has been changed to another type, denoted by '&1'.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The meter reading type '05' may not be properly configured in the system, or there may be a mismatch in the expected reading types for the specific billing or meter reading process.
  Data Entry Errors: There could be an error in the data entry process where the meter reading type was incorrectly assigned or modified.
  Business Rules: The system may have business rules that automatically change the meter reading type based on certain conditions, leading to this message.
  Integration Issues: If the meter readings are being imported from an external system, there may be discrepancies in the data format or type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for meter reading types in the SAP system. Ensure that type '05' is correctly defined and that any related settings are properly configured.
  Review Data Entry: Verify the entries made for the meter readings. Ensure that the correct meter reading type is being used and that there are no typos or incorrect selections.
  Examine Business Rules: Investigate any business rules or logic that may be causing the automatic change of the meter reading type. Adjust these rules if necessary to align with business requirements.
  Data Validation: If the readings are imported from an external system, validate the data being sent to ensure it adheres to the expected formats and types.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on handling this error message and understanding the implications of the meter reading type changes.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as EL31 (for meter reading entry) or EL22 (for meter reading analysis) to help troubleshoot the issue.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to enter and modify meter readings, as restrictions may lead to unexpected behavior.
  Testing: If changes are made to configurations or business rules, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the issue is resolved and that no new issues arise.
