  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Open Claim:
  
  Use transaction codes such as IW33 (Display Order) or IW38 (Change Order) to check for any open claims related to the contract in question.

  Close the Claim:
  
  After addressing the claim, ensure that it is properly closed in the system. This may involve changing the status of the claim to "Closed" or "Resolved."
