Register &2 does not exist for device &1 on &3

What causes this issue?

This error only occurs when meter readings are entered via auto data.
This occurs in the following cases:
If meter readings are uploaded using IDocs in category ISU_MR_UPLOAD
If BAPI method UPLOAD (Object type MTRREADDOC) is used
If meter readings are migrated
In this case, the <DS:GLOS.3526BE39AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>meter
reading result</> cannot be used because it cannot be assigned to a
register. This might be the case if the meter reading is from a
register not found in this device, for example.
