• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_RCS_UEC051 - Customer is out of REACH area and material is not an intermediate ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_RCS_UEC051 indicates that a customer is located outside of the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) area, and the material in question is not classified as an intermediate. This error typically arises in the context of compliance with chemical regulations, particularly in the European Union.
  Cause:
  
  Customer Location: The customer is situated in a region that is not covered by REACH regulations, which primarily apply to the European Union and some associated countries.
  Material Classification: The material being ordered or processed is not classified as an intermediate. Under REACH, intermediates are substances that are manufactured for and consumed in a chemical process, and they have different regulatory requirements compared to other substances.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Customer Location: Check the customer’s address and ensure that it is correctly entered in the system. If the customer is indeed outside the REACH area, you may need to consider whether you can legally supply the material to them.
  Material Classification: Review the classification of the material in question. If it is not an intermediate, you may need to assess whether it can be supplied to the customer based on REACH regulations. If the material is subject to REACH, you may need to ensure that it is registered for use in the customer's location.
  Compliance Check: Ensure that all necessary compliance checks are performed. This may involve consulting with your compliance or legal team to understand the implications of shipping the material to a non-REACH area.
  Alternative Solutions: If the customer cannot be supplied with the material due to regulatory constraints, consider offering alternative products that are compliant or suggest that the customer establish a presence in a REACH-compliant area if feasible.
  
  Related Information:
  
  REACH Regulations: Familiarize yourself with the REACH regulations and their implications for chemical substances. This includes understanding the definitions of intermediates and the registration process for substances.
  SAP Configuration: Check the configuration settings in SAP related to material compliance and customer data. Ensure that the system is set up to handle REACH-related checks appropriately.
  Documentation: Maintain proper documentation regarding compliance with REACH for audit purposes and to ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the regulatory requirements.
