• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06055 - Purchase requisition &, item &, not released for ordering ?

  The SAP error message "06055 Purchase requisition &, item &, not released for ordering" indicates that a specific purchase requisition (PR) and its associated item are not in a status that allows them to be converted into a purchase order (PO). This can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Release Strategy Not Met: The purchase requisition may be subject to a release strategy that has not been fully approved. This means that the necessary approvals have not been obtained for the requisition to be released for ordering.
  
  
  Status of the Purchase Requisition: The PR may be in a status that does not allow it to be processed further. For example, it could be marked as "blocked" or "deleted."
  
  
  Item Category Restrictions: Certain item categories may have restrictions that prevent them from being ordered directly from a purchase requisition.
  
  
  Missing Data: Required fields or data may be missing in the purchase requisition, which can prevent it from being released for ordering.
  
  
  Vendor Issues: If the vendor associated with the purchase requisition is not active or has issues (e.g., blocked for purchasing), this can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Release Strategy: Verify the release strategy assigned to the purchase requisition. Ensure that all necessary approvals have been obtained. You can check the release status in the PR document.
  
  
  Review PR Status: Check the status of the purchase requisition. If it is blocked or in a status that prevents ordering, you may need to take corrective action, such as unblocking it or changing its status.
  
  
  Validate Item Category: Ensure that the item category used in the purchase requisition is appropriate for ordering. If necessary, change the item category to one that allows ordering.
  
  
  Complete Missing Data: Review the purchase requisition for any missing or incomplete data. Fill in any required fields and ensure that all necessary information is provided.
