  Cause:
  This error indicates that you are trying to create or modify a template that already exists in the system with the same identifier (denoted by &1 in the message). The existing template has a status of "Released," which means it is currently active and cannot be modified directly without first changing its status.
  Solution:

  Check Existing Template: Verify if the template you are trying to create or modify already exists. You can do this by searching for the template using its identifier.
  
  
  Change Status: If you need to update the existing template, you may need to change its status from "Released" to a status that allows for modifications (e.g., "In Development" or "Draft"). This can usually be done through the template management interface in SAP.
  
  
  Update the Template: Once the status is changed, you can proceed to update the template as needed.
  
  
  Create a New Template: If you do not want to modify the existing template, consider creating a new template with a different identifier.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources specific to your module for more detailed instructions on managing templates.
