  Correct the Value: If you find that a negative value has been entered, change it to a valid non-negative value. This could involve:
  
  Setting the threshold to zero if no threshold is required.
  Setting it to a positive value that meets your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After correcting the value, save the changes to the retention agreement.
  
  
  Test the Changes: If applicable, test the retention agreement to ensure that it functions as expected with the new threshold value.
