  The SAP error message WM433 ("No external number interval defined") typically occurs in the Warehouse Management (WM) module when the system is unable to find a defined number range for generating external document numbers. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to create a transfer order, inbound delivery, or other warehouse-related documents.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Number Range: The external number range for the specific document type has not been defined in the system.

  Make sure to specify the interval and assign it correctly.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Assignment:
