  Error Message: W5103 - Release prerequisites not satisfied
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs during the release (approval) process of a document or object in SAP when certain prerequisite conditions or dependencies have not been met. The system checks for specific criteria before allowing the release, such as:
  
  Required preceding steps or approvals have not been completed.
  Mandatory fields or data are missing or incomplete.
  Related documents or objects that must be released first are still in an unreleased status.
  Custom or standard release strategy conditions are not fulfilled.
  
  In other words, the system enforces a release strategy or workflow, and if the prerequisites defined in that strategy are not satisfied, it triggers this warning.
  
  Where it commonly occurs:
  
  Material Master release process
  Engineering Change Management (ECN/ECR) release
  Document release in Document Management System (DMS)
  Purchase requisition or purchase order release
  Quality notifications or inspection lot release
