  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_SERVICES061: Document &1 was not released
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to perform an action on a document (such as posting, processing, or referencing it) that requires the document to be in a "released" status, but the document is still in a blocked or unreleased state.
  In SAP, certain documents (e.g., service entry sheets, purchase orders, or other workflow-related documents) must be released (approved) before further processing. If the document is still pending approval or release, the system prevents further actions and throws this error.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  Attempting to post or invoice a service entry sheet that has not been approved.
  Trying to reference or use a document in a subsequent process step before it is released.
  Workflow or authorization checks that require the document to be in a released status.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Go to the document in question (e.g., service entry sheet, purchase order).
  Verify its release status. This can usually be found in the document header or status overview.
  
  
  
  Release the Document:
  
  If the document is not released, follow the standard release procedure:
  
  Use transaction codes like ME28 (Release Purchase Order), ML81N (Service Entry Sheet), or the relevant transaction for the document type.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization to release the document.
  Complete any pending approval steps in the workflow.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Workflow or Approval Process:
  
  If the document is stuck in a workflow, check the workflow inbox or approval logs.
  Resolve any issues or escalate approvals as needed.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user performing the action has the required authorization to release or process the document.
  
  
  
  Retry the Action:
  
  After the document is released, retry the action that caused the error.
