3482759 - Message "Equipment number &1 not in external number interval" during serial number creation

During the serial number creation process, message "Equipment number &1 not in external number interval" (Message No. IS042) is returned. This process might be any of the following one:

Create serial number directly per t-code IQ01 or IQ04;

Create serial number during assignment in other objects, in transactions like MIGO, CO01/CO02, VL31NVL32N and so on;

Transfer the document from EWM system, which includes serial number creation, and the message is with number SR053 in this case.
