  Release the Specification: If the specification is not released, you will need to follow the appropriate process to release it. This typically involves:
  
  Completing any missing information.
  Submitting the specification for review.
  Approving and releasing the specification through the appropriate workflow.
  
  
  Review Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and use the specification. If not, contact your SAP administrator to request the required permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the EHS module for specific steps on how to release specifications and reports.
  
  Related Information:
