  The SAP error message CATSXT127, which states "Data released for approval," typically occurs in the context of the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) module. This message indicates that the time data you are trying to process has already been released for approval and cannot be modified or processed further until it has been approved or rejected.
  Cause:

  Check Approval Status: Verify the status of the time entries in the approval workflow. You may need to contact the approver or check the workflow logs to see if the entries are still pending approval.
  Wait for Approval: If the data is still under review, you will need to wait until the approver either approves or rejects the entries.
