• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EWA762 - Equipment number range &1 overlaps with &2. ?

  The SAP error message EWA762 indicates that there is an overlap in the equipment number ranges defined in the system. This typically occurs when two or more number ranges are configured in such a way that they share common values, which can lead to conflicts when trying to create or manage equipment records.
  Cause:
