How To Fix WZ405 - Object type not released

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WZ - Workflow: Model objects

• Message number: 405

• Message text: Object type not released

What causes this issue?

You have specified an object type that is not released. It is not
worthwhile creating another event or a subtype for this object type,
because the object type cannot be used without being released.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Release object type and start processing again, or specify another
object type.
ACHTUNG!
With an object type supplied by SAP, it is possible that individual
component parts of the object type (methods, attributes, etc) are only
modeled. You can use the object type after release, but correct
operation of the individual component parts is not guaranteed.

  Error Message
  WZ405: Object type not released
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to use or reference an object type in SAP that has not been released for use. In SAP, certain object types (such as those used in Workflow, Business Object Repository (BOR), or other development objects) must be explicitly released before they can be used in productive scenarios.
  
  The object type exists but is still in a development or test status.
  The object type has not been transported or released to the target system.
  The object type is locked or incomplete.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating or triggering workflows that reference unreleased object types.
  When trying to use BOR object types in applications or custom developments.
  During transport or activation of objects that depend on unreleased object types.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Release the Object Type:
  
  Go to the transaction where the object type is maintained (e.g., SWO1 for Workflow Object Types).
  Open the object type in change mode.
  Check the status of the object type.
  If it is not released, release it by choosing the appropriate menu option (e.g., Object -> Release).
  Save and activate the object.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that the released object type is included in a transport request.
  Transport the object type to the target system if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Make sure you have the necessary authorizations to release objects.
