• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCSH017 - SU &1 is distributed by consumption - but RS &2 does not have a meter ?

  The SAP error message RESCSH017 indicates that there is an issue related to the distribution of consumption for a specific service (SU &1) when the corresponding resource (RS &2) does not have a meter associated with it. This error typically arises in the context of SAP IS-U (Industry Solution for Utilities) when dealing with service management and consumption data.
  Cause:

  Data Consistency Check:
