This error typically arises when an attempt is made to perform an operation on a schedule contract that is not allowed due to its current status.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following reasons:
  
  Invalid Status: The schedule contract may be in a status that does not permit reengineering. For example, it could be in a status like "Completed," "Cancelled," or "Closed," which typically do not allow for modifications.

  Reopening the contract if it is closed.
  Cancelling any previous actions that may have locked the contract.
  
  
  
  Review Business Rules: Consult with your SAP functional team or business process owner to understand the business rules governing the contract statuses. They may provide insights into why the status is preventing reengineering.
