• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CC318 - At least one allocated package is not technically released ?

  The SAP error message CC318, which states "At least one allocated package is not technically released," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Change and Transport System (CTS) when dealing with transport requests and packages. This error indicates that one or more of the packages associated with the transport request are not in a state that allows them to be transported.
  Cause:
  
  Package Status: The package associated with the transport request is not released. In SAP, packages must be in a "released" state to be included in transport requests.
  Development Class: The development class (package) may be in a state that restricts its transport, such as being marked as "not transportable."
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration that prevent the package from being released.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to release the package.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Package Status:
  
  Go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE21 (Transport Organizer) and check the status of the package.
