Message text: Too many technical meter readings in one activity day
A conflict has arisen between two technical meter readings that are
valid on the same activity date:
MR document &V1& (with <ZH>technical</> MR reason &V2&)
MR document &V3& (with <ZH>technical</> MR reason &V4&)
This does not make any sense, since these changes can no longer be
processed in billing, which only takes place <ZH>for specific dates</>.
<ZH>Regular procedure:</>
If <ZH>several technical changes</> are made on the same date, they must
be executed <ZH>at the same time</>.
<ZH>One</> meter reading suffices for device removal, changes to the
installation structure, register descriptions, device allocation,
disconnection and reconnection.
A <ZH>pair of meter readings</> suffice for replacement, device
modification and changes to the logical register number.
<ZH>Exception:</>
If you are unable to solve the problem as described above, please
contact SAP.
Note on Meter Reading Document Numbers:
If a meter reading document has not yet been saved, it is the meter

U7027
- Too many technical meter readings in one activity day ?The SAP error message U7027, "Too many technical meter readings in one activity day," typically occurs in the context of SAP IS-U (Industry Solution for Utilities) when there are too many technical meter readings recorded for a single day.

- Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may define a maximum number of readings allowed per day, which can be set too low for the operational needs.
- Data Entry Errors: Manual entries or automated processes may inadvertently create multiple readings for the same meter on the same day.
- Batch Processing: If batch jobs or processes are set to run multiple times in a day, they may generate multiple readings unintentionally.
Solution:

- This can typically be found in the configuration settings under the IS-U module.
Data Cleanup: Review the meter readings recorded for the day in question. If there are duplicate or erroneous readings, they should be corrected or deleted.
