The red X sign on the contract page is to cancel the line. It doesn't remove the line item but makes it not usable with the contract any longer. The other lines don’t show the X because they probably don’t have spend on them, so they can be removed entirely from the contract, where that line can only be canceled. If any line after a given line has had releases, you can't remove it—10 lines on a contract. Line 9 has spend, line 7 hasn't, you won't be able to remove 7. You might be able to remove 10. Once a supplier ID is used on a contract, it cannot be changed. If the supplier gets bought out, fails to fulfil the requirements of the contract, or whatever, there is no way to swap out the supplier ID from one supplier to another. Hence, the NV contracts, which are usually created because 1) the supplier is now operating under a different TIN and thus a different supplier ID (usually due to a change in ownership), or 2) the supplier backed out or failed, and the contract is going to the next lowest bidder, an entirely different supplier ID.
