  The SAP error message HRPSGB_ME303, which states "Wage Type MENI won't have any effect on a non-primary contract," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This warning indicates that the wage type MENI (which is often used for specific payments or deductions) is being applied to a non-primary employment contract, and as such, it will not have any effect on the payroll calculation.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Primary Contract: The employee has multiple contracts, and the contract in question is not marked as the primary contract. In SAP, only the primary contract is considered for certain wage types.

  Incorrect Assignment: The wage type may have been incorrectly assigned to the non-primary contract, leading to this warning.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Status: Verify if the contract in question is indeed a non-primary contract. If it should be the primary contract, you may need to change its status in the employee's master data.
  Review Wage Type Configuration: Check the configuration of the wage type MENI in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up to be applicable for the intended contracts. This may involve reviewing the payroll schema and the specific rules associated with the wage type.
  Adjust Payroll Processing: If the wage type is not meant to be used for non-primary contracts, you may need to adjust your payroll processing logic to ensure that it is only applied to primary contracts.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HCM functional consultant to understand the specific implications of using wage type MENI and how it should be configured in your system.
