  The SAP error message IS815, which states "Equipment number & not in external interval," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify an equipment record in SAP, and the equipment number you are using does not fall within the defined external number range for equipment.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The equipment number you are trying to use is outside the defined external number range for equipment in the system. This can happen if the number range has not been properly set up or if the number you are trying to use is not valid according to the defined intervals.

  Use a Valid Equipment Number:
