Meter read estimation - how to exclude MR reason 09 from the base period

Hi Experts,

we are using the standard meter reading estimation method. we are having base-period-category as "Period or previous year" at the installation level. now for some accounts due to incorrect "interim read without billing" (RR 09), estimated meter-read is coming incorrect. so the requirement is to exclude 09 meter-reading from the base period for estiamtion.

anyone knows how this can be done. 1st preference is through configuration.

I'm looking at the code commented out in year 2002 in EXIT_SAPLELHR_001, which had the purpose of excluding all (not just implausible) control readings during extrapolation, and the comments say that this solution lead under certain not further specified conditions to much too high budget billing plans... 🙂

But that, I guess, is the place to call your own logic of dealing with reading results during extrapolation (be careful with multi reading reason readings...). I see no customizing for doing this as of IS-UT 617 SP 09.

Thank you Janis B, I will have a look into the exit.
