  SAP Error Message:
  WS135 - Documents with status &1 cannot be released to Financial Accounting
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to release (post) a document to Financial Accounting (FI), but the document is currently in a status that does not allow it to be released. The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the actual status of the document, such as "Parked", "Blocked", "In Process", or any other status that restricts release.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The document is still parked and not yet ready for posting.  
  The document is blocked due to errors or holds.  
  The document is in an intermediate status (e.g., waiting for approval).  
  The document is incomplete or missing required data for release.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Document Status:  
  
  Identify the current status of the document (the value replacing &1).  
  Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBV3 (Display Parked Document) to view the document details and status.
  
  
  
  Correct the Status or Complete Required Actions:  
  
  If the document is parked, complete the necessary steps to release it (e.g., approval, completion of missing fields).  
  If blocked, investigate the reason for the block and resolve it (e.g., correct errors, remove holds).  
  If incomplete, enter the missing data or correct errors.
  
  
  
  Release the Document Properly:  
  
  Use the appropriate transaction to release the document to FI, such as FBV0 (Post Parked Document) or the relevant workflow approval process.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration (if applicable):  
  
  Sometimes, custom status profiles or release procedures may restrict document release. Verify the status profile and release strategy in IMG under Financial Accounting or Document Management settings.
