  The SAP error message OT152, which states "Previous package & not released yet," typically occurs in the context of transport management within SAP systems. This error indicates that there is a transport request (or package) that has not been released, and as a result, the system is preventing further actions that depend on that transport request.
  Cause:
  
  Unreleased Transport Request: The most common cause of this error is that there is a transport request that has been created but not yet released. In SAP, transport requests must be released before they can be imported into another system (e.g., from Development to Quality Assurance or Production).

  Release the Transport Request:
  
  Go to the SAP GUI and navigate to the transaction code SE09 or SE10 (Transport Organizer).
  Find the transport request that is causing the issue (it may be listed as "modifiable" or "released").
  Select the transport request and click on the "Release" button (or use the menu option).
  Confirm the release. This will make the transport request available for import.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  If there are other transport requests that need to be released first, ensure that you release those as well.
  You can check the dependencies of the transport request in the Transport Organizer.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Logs:
  
  Check the transport logs for any additional errors or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
