  Review Invoicing Lock: Check the details of the invoicing lock associated with the contract. Ensure that the validity period of the invoicing lock does not extend beyond the contract's end date.
  Adjust Validity Dates: If the invoicing lock is indeed set incorrectly, adjust the validity dates of the invoicing lock to ensure they align with the contract's end date.
  Contract Review: Verify the contract details to ensure that the end date is correct and that the contract is still active if it is supposed to be.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing invoicing locks and contracts.
