  The SAP error message IE017 typically indicates that there is an issue with the status of the equipment in the system, particularly when you are trying to replace or perform maintenance on it. This message is often related to the equipment not being in the correct status for the operation you are attempting to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Equipment Status: The equipment may be in a status that does not allow for replacement or maintenance activities. For example, it might be in a "Blocked" or "Inactive" status.
  Pending Notifications or Orders: There may be open maintenance notifications or work orders associated with the equipment that need to be addressed before you can proceed with the replacement.

  Check Equipment Status:

  Change Equipment Status:
