  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDPDAMPO071: Only released purchase requisitions can be forwarded typically occurs in the context of the SAP Materials Management (MM) module, particularly when dealing with purchase requisitions (PRs) in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is trying to forward a purchase requisition that has not been released or approved yet.
  Cause:
  
  Unreleased Purchase Requisition: The primary cause of this error is that the purchase requisition you are trying to forward has not gone through the necessary release strategy. In SAP, purchase requisitions often require approval before they can be processed further.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Purchase Requisition:
  
  Go to the transaction code ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) and check the status of the PR. Ensure that it is released.
  
  
  
  Release the Purchase Requisition:
  
  If the PR is not released, you will need to release it. This can typically be done using transaction code ME54 (Release Purchase Requisition). Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  
  
  Review Release Strategy:
  
  If the PR should have been released but wasn’t, check the configuration of the release strategy in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO). Ensure that the release strategy is correctly set up and that the PR meets the criteria for release.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user attempting to forward the PR has the necessary authorizations to release and forward purchase requisitions. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG.
