  Consult with Project Management: If you do not have the authority to change the contract status, consult with your project management or finance team to understand why the investment stop is in place and whether it can be lifted.
  Review Configuration: If the investment stop is being applied incorrectly, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to investment management and project management. Adjustments may be needed to ensure that investment stops are applied appropriately.
