  Purchasing document & already released
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you attempt to release (approve) a purchasing document (such as a Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order) that has already been released (approved) in the system.

  When does it occur?
  
  When a user tries to release a purchasing document that is already in a released status.
