  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  A material is associated with more than one substance in the system, which can lead to confusion regarding regulatory compliance, safety data sheets, and other documentation.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Update Regulatory Data:
  
  After making changes, ensure that all regulatory data and safety data sheets are updated accordingly to reflect the correct substance assignment.
