Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Item Not Released: The specific item(s) mentioned in the error message have not been released for processing. This means that the system does not allow for a partial rejection because the item is still in a state that requires full approval or release.

  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types or configurations in the system may restrict the ability to perform partial rejections.

  Check Release Status: Verify the release status of the items in the purchase order. You can do this by navigating to the purchase order in the SAP GUI and checking the release strategy. Ensure that the items are fully released before attempting a partial rejection.
  Release the Items: If the items are not released, you may need to follow the appropriate release procedure to release the items before attempting to reject them.
  Review PO Status: Check the overall status of the purchase order. If the PO is in a blocked or restricted status, you may need to resolve those issues first.
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you are unsure about the release strategy or how to proceed, consult with your SAP administrator or the team responsible for managing purchase orders in your organization. They can provide guidance on the specific configurations and processes in place.
  Use Full Rejection: If partial rejection is not possible due to the status of the items, consider performing a full rejection of the purchase order if that aligns with your business process.
