• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IS123 - Equipment category selected has no internal number range ?

  The SAP error message IS123, which states "Equipment category selected has no internal number range," typically occurs when you are trying to create or manage equipment in the SAP system, and the equipment category you are using does not have an associated internal number range defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Assignment: The equipment category you are trying to use does not have a number range assigned to it. This can happen if the configuration for the equipment category is incomplete or if the number range was not set up correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The equipment category may not be properly configured in the system, leading to the absence of a valid internal number range.
  Custom Equipment Categories: If you are using a custom equipment category, it may not have been configured to use an internal number range.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the equipment category has a valid internal number range assigned. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: Logistics -> Plant Maintenance -> Maintenance Processing -> Equipment -> Master Data -> Number Ranges -> Define Number Ranges for Equipment.
  
  
  
  Check Existing Number Ranges:
  
  In the number range configuration, check if the equipment category in question has a number range defined.
  If it does not, you will need to create a new number range.
  
  
  
  Create/Assign a Number Range:
  
  If no number range exists for the equipment category, create a new number range by specifying the range of numbers that can be used for equipment.
  Assign this number range to the relevant equipment category.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary changes, save your configuration.
  
  
  Test the Changes: Try to create or manage the equipment again to see if the error persists.
