  Review Pending Transactions: Check for any pending transactions that might be affecting the contract. Resolve any outstanding issues before attempting to change the contract composition again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing contracts and performance obligations. There may be specific procedures or restrictions in place.
