  Solution:
  
  
  Check Contract Status: 
  
  Navigate to the contract in question using the relevant transaction code (e.g., VA42 for sales contracts or ME32K for purchasing contracts).
  Verify the status of the contract. If it is marked as deleted, you will need to determine if it should be restored or if it is indeed meant to be deleted.
  
  
  
  Restore Contract:
