  Review the Destination Country: Verify the country of destination in the transaction. Ensure that it is not on the embargo list.
  Check Embargo Lists: Consult the relevant embargo lists or trade restriction lists (e.g., OFAC, EU sanctions) to confirm the status of the country.
  Adjust Transaction: If the destination country is indeed under embargo, you will need to adjust the transaction to either change the destination or cancel the transaction.
  Consult Legal/Compliance Team: If you believe the transaction should be allowed, consult your legal or compliance team to understand the implications and whether any exceptions apply.
  SAP Configuration: If you have the necessary permissions, check the configuration settings in SAP GTS to ensure that the embargo checks are set up correctly. This may involve reviewing the settings for trade compliance and embargo management.
