  Change Item Status: If possible, change the status of the item in the external system to allow for modifications. This may involve unprocessing the item or changing its status back to a modifiable state.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's integration guidelines for specific instructions on handling items that have been transferred to external systems.
