• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE313 - Sort field &1 is not a permissible source field ?

  The SAP error message DMEE313, which states "Sort field &1 is not a permissible source field," typically occurs in the context of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) when you are trying to generate a payment medium or similar output format. This error indicates that the sort field you are trying to use in your DMEE configuration is not valid or not allowed as a source field for sorting.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Sort Field: The sort field specified in the DMEE configuration does not exist in the data structure or is not defined as a permissible source field.
  Configuration Issues: The DMEE tree structure may not have been set up correctly, or the field you are trying to use for sorting is not included in the data source.
  Field Type Mismatch: The field type of the sort field may not match the expected type in the DMEE configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DMEE Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE tree structure in transaction code DMEE.
  Verify the sort field you are trying to use. Ensure that it is defined in the data structure and is permissible for sorting.
  If the field is not available, you may need to add it to the data structure or choose a different field that is valid.
  
  
  
  Review Source Fields:
  
  Check the source fields defined in the DMEE tree. Make sure that the sort field you are using is included in the list of permissible source fields.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant node in the DMEE tree and reviewing the properties of the fields.
  
  
  
  Adjust Sorting Logic:
  
  If the sort field is not necessary, consider removing it from the sorting criteria in your DMEE configuration.
  Alternatively, if you need to sort by a specific field, ensure that it is correctly defined and available in the data structure.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the DMEE output generation again to see if the error persists.
