  Review Material Composition: Check the material's composition in the system to identify the specific substance that exceeds the limit. This can be done by accessing the material master data and reviewing the substance percentages.
  Adjust Formulation: If the substance percentage is indeed too high, consider reformulating the material to reduce the percentage of the offending substance. This may involve substituting materials or adjusting the ratios of components.
  Update Material Data: If the data is incorrect, update the material master with the correct composition data. Ensure that all relevant information is accurate and reflects the actual material composition.
  Consult Regulatory Guidelines: Refer to the latest regulatory guidelines to ensure compliance. If necessary, consult with compliance experts or legal advisors to understand the implications of the substance limits.
  Documentation and Reporting: Document any changes made to the material composition and ensure that all stakeholders are informed. If the material is used in production, communicate the changes to the relevant teams.
