  Deactivate or Modify Existing Payment Plan:
  
  If the existing payment plan is no longer needed, you may consider deactivating it. This can typically be done through the contract management interface.
  If modifications are required, you can adjust the existing payment plan instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Create a New Payment Plan:
  
  If you need to create a new payment plan, ensure that the existing one is either completed, canceled, or deactivated before proceeding.
