  Check Contract Status: Review the status of the contract in question. If it is in a completed or finalized state, you may need to follow the appropriate procedures to change its status or consult with your contract management team.
  Review Billing Documents: Check if there are any billing documents associated with the billable items. If invoices have been generated, you may need to reverse the invoice first before attempting to reverse the billable items.
