How to fix this error?

The payee bank can be entered directly as a format parameter (field
<DS:DE.PAYMRECV_FPM>Payee bank SWIFT code</>) or can be read from the
house bank DME data (indicator <DS:DE.PAYMRCHD_FPM>Payee in house bank
DME data</> in the format parameters).
With logical or physical individual payments (field
<DS:DE.PAYMTYPE_FPM>Payment medium type: Collective, logical, physical
individual payments</> of format parameters) the payee bank is filled
with the payee bank SWIFT code when neither of the two options are
chosen (<DS:TRAN.FI02>Maintain bank data
</>).
With collective payments, the payee bank is not filled if you do not
choose any of the named options.
Choose one of the named options to fill the payee bank, make sure that
the payee bank is filled afterwards by the sending bank of the MT&V1&
message, or switch off output of the prefix in the format parameters
(Indicator <DS:DE.PAYMHEAD_FPM>Create SWIFT MTxxx prefix</>).
