This error typically arises in the context of compliance with chemical regulations, particularly in the European Union.
  Cause:
  
  Customer Location: The customer is situated outside the European Economic Area (EEA), which is required for compliance with REACH regulations.
  Material Classification: The material is classified as a partial intermediate, which means it is not a final product but rather a substance that is used in the production of other substances or products.

  Solution:
  
  Verify Customer Location: Check the customer’s address in the SAP system to ensure it is correctly entered and that the customer is indeed located within the REACH area.
  Material Classification Review: Confirm that the material is correctly classified in the system. If it is incorrectly classified, it may need to be updated.
  Compliance Check: Ensure that the material is compliant with REACH regulations. If the material is intended for use in the EEA, it may need to be registered under REACH.
  Consult with Regulatory Affairs: If necessary, consult with your company’s regulatory affairs or compliance department to understand the implications of shipping to a non-REACH area and to explore potential solutions.
  Alternative Solutions: If the customer cannot be serviced due to REACH restrictions, consider finding alternative customers within the REACH area or modifying the product to meet compliance requirements.
  
  Related Information:
  
  REACH Regulations: Understanding the REACH regulations is crucial for companies dealing with chemicals in the EU. It is important to be aware of the obligations regarding registration, evaluation, and authorization of chemical substances.

  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure compliance with REACH regulations.
