• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME262 - Some of the requisitions have not been released for RFQ processing ?

  The SAP error message ME262 indicates that some of the requisitions have not been released for Request for Quotation (RFQ) processing. This typically occurs in the context of procurement processes where a purchasing organization is trying to create an RFQ from purchase requisitions, but certain requisitions are not in a state that allows them to be included in the RFQ.
  Causes:
  
  
  Release Strategy Not Met: The purchase requisition may have a release strategy that has not been fully approved. If the requisition is still in a draft or pending state, it cannot be processed for RFQ.
  
  
  Status of Requisition: The requisition may be in a status that does not allow it to be converted into an RFQ. For example, it might be blocked or marked for deletion.
  
  
  Missing Data: Required fields or data in the purchase requisition may be missing or incorrect, preventing it from being processed.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to release the requisition for RFQ processing.
  
  
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type of the requisition may not be configured to allow RFQ processing.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Release Status: Verify the release status of the purchase requisition. Ensure that all necessary approvals have been obtained. You can do this by checking the release strategy in the purchase requisition.
  
  
  Review Requisition Status: Look at the status of the requisition in the system. If it is blocked or has any other restrictions, resolve those issues first.

  Authorization Check: Confirm that the user attempting to create the RFQ has the necessary authorizations to release the requisition. If not, contact your SAP security administrator.
  
  
  Document Type Configuration: Check the configuration of the document type for the purchase requisition to ensure it is set up to allow RFQ processing.
  
  
  Use Transaction ME54N: If the requisition is pending release, you can use transaction ME54N to manually release the requisition.
