  Change Order Status: If the order is not in an allowed status, you may need to change its status. This could involve completing certain steps in the order processing workflow or using specific transactions to update the status.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, review the settings related to order processing to ensure that they allow for the desired operations on the order types you are working with.
