  Access Archived Data: If you need to access the archived contract, you can use the Archive Information System to retrieve the archived document. This may involve using specific transactions or reports designed to access archived data.
  Restore if Necessary: If the contract needs to be restored to the active database for further processing, you may need to follow the appropriate procedures to unarchive it, if your organization’s policies allow for this.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines on archiving and unarchiving processes for specific steps and permissions required.
