  Check Dependencies: Review the project structure to identify any dependent tasks or milestones. If there are dependent tasks that are completed, you may need to adjust their statuses first.

  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform this action. If not, contact your SAP administrator to obtain the required authorizations.
  Consult Documentation: Review the project management documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations that may be affecting your ability to undo the milestone completion.
