  The contract was deleted or not saved properly.
  There is a typo or incorrect reference in the contract number or type.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: The data being passed to the BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) may be incorrect or incomplete, leading to the system not being able to find the contract.
