  Contract Extension: If the contract needs to be valid for a longer period, consider extending the contract's validity dates if applicable and if you have the necessary permissions.
  Contract Status: Ensure that the contract is in an active status. If it is inactive, you may need to reactivate it or create a new contract.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's SAP documentation or guidelines for managing contracts, as there may be specific procedures to follow.
