  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Equipment ID: The Equipment ID specified in the error message does not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to a typo, incorrect data entry, or the equipment not being created in the system.

  Check Import File: If you are importing data, ensure that the import file contains the correct Equipment ID and that it is formatted correctly.
  Review Data Synchronization: If the Equipment ID is supposed to be created or updated through another process, check the relevant processes to ensure they are functioning correctly.
