  The SAP error message RLMFW066 indicates that a release order (or purchase order) has not been completed. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Materials Management (MM) module, particularly when dealing with release strategies for purchase orders or contracts.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Incomplete Release Strategy: The release order may not have been fully approved or released according to the defined release strategy. This could be due to missing approvals from designated approvers.
  
  
  Missing Release Codes: The release codes required to complete the release process may not have been entered or may be incorrect.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to release the order may not have the necessary authorizations to complete the release.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the release strategy in the system, such as incorrect settings in the release procedure.
  
  
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow it to be completed, such as being blocked or in a draft state.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RLMFW066 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Release Status: Verify the release status of the order. You can do this by navigating to the purchase order in SAP and checking the release strategy tab to see which levels have been completed and which are still pending.
  
  
  Complete the Release: If the order is pending approval, ensure that the necessary approvers are notified to complete the release. If you have the necessary authorization, you can manually release the order.
  
  
  Review Release Codes: Ensure that the correct release codes are being used. If you are unsure, consult with your SAP administrator or refer to the documentation for the release strategy in your organization.
