• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PRC_POHF020 - Release document &1 individually as selection of release code is required ?

  The SAP error message WRF_PRC_POHF020 typically occurs in the context of the Purchase Order (PO) release process. This error indicates that the system requires the release of a document (like a purchase order) individually because a selection of the release code is necessary.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Release Strategy Configuration: The release strategy for the purchase order is set up in such a way that it requires individual release rather than collective release. This means that the system expects the user to release each document separately.
  Release Code Settings: The release codes assigned to the user or the release strategy may not allow for collective processing, leading to the requirement for individual releases.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for collective release, or it may not meet the criteria defined in the release strategy.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Release Strategy:
  
  Go to the configuration of the release strategy in the SAP system (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Verify the settings for the release strategy assigned to the purchase order. Ensure that it is configured to allow for collective release if that is the desired behavior.
  
  
  
  Release Code Assignment:
  
  Check the release codes assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to release documents collectively if that is intended.
  If the release code requires individual processing, you will need to release each document one by one.
  
  
  
  Release Document Individually:
  
  If the system is configured to require individual releases, you can manually release the document by navigating to the purchase order and using the appropriate transaction (e.g., ME29N) to release it.
  
  
  
  Review Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the purchase order is in a status that allows for release. If there are any issues with the document (e.g., missing information, blocked status), resolve those first.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific details related to your configuration and any additional troubleshooting steps.
