  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_RP184 indicates that a route and ruleset are in a status of "For Release," which means they are pending approval or finalization and cannot be modified until they are released. This status is typically used in the context of transport management or workflow processes within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Pending Approval: The route and ruleset are awaiting approval or release by an authorized user.
  Locked Status: The system has locked the route and ruleset to prevent changes while they are in the "For Release" status.
  Transport Management: If you are working with transport requests, the route and ruleset may be part of a transport that is not yet released.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Release the Route and Ruleset:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can release the route and ruleset. This typically involves navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., /PF1/ or the specific transaction for managing routes and rulesets) and selecting the option to release them.

  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the route and ruleset are part of a transport request, check the status of the transport request. You may need to release the transport request first before making changes.
