  Cause:
  
  Missing Equipment ID: The most straightforward cause is that the Equipment ID field is left blank when it is required for the transaction.

  Check Input Fields: Ensure that the Equipment ID field is filled in correctly. If you are entering data manually, double-check for any typos or omissions.
