  Configuration Issues: The system configuration may not be set up correctly to handle primary contracts, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Employee Contracts: Check the employee's contract records in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant infotype (e.g., IT0001 - Organizational Assignment) and reviewing the contracts associated with the employee.
  Identify Primary Contracts: Determine which contract should be the primary one. This is usually the most relevant or current contract for the employee.
  Adjust Contract Settings:

  You may need to consult with HR or payroll administrators to ensure that the correct contract is designated as primary.
