  Validate Transaction Data: Review the specific transaction or invoice that triggered the error. Ensure that all values, especially those related to exemptions, are entered correctly and are within the expected range.
  
  
  Adjust Exemption Amount: If the exemption amount is indeed greater than the allowed limit, adjust it to a valid value that is greater than zero and does not exceed the defined limits.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling exemption values and tax calculations.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration and data, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
