• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE314 - No level was assigned to sort field &1 ?

  The SAP error message DMEE314 ("No level was assigned to sort field &1") typically occurs in the context of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) when generating payment files or other data formats. This error indicates that a sort field has been defined in the DMEE tree structure, but it has not been assigned a level, which is necessary for the sorting process to function correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Level Assignment: The sort field in the DMEE tree does not have an associated level. Levels are used to define the hierarchy of data in the output file.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DMEE tree structure may not be configured correctly, leading to missing or incorrect assignments of levels to sort fields.
  Changes in DMEE Tree: If changes were made to the DMEE tree structure (like adding or modifying sort fields), it may have resulted in some fields not being properly assigned.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DMEE Tree Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).
  Open the relevant DMEE tree that is causing the error.
  Verify that all sort fields have been assigned a level. Each sort field should be linked to a specific level in the tree structure.
  
  
  
  Assign Levels to Sort Fields:
  
  If you find any sort fields without an assigned level, assign them to the appropriate level in the DMEE tree.
  Ensure that the hierarchy of levels is correctly defined, and that each level is properly configured to include the necessary sort fields.
  
  
  
  Validate the DMEE Tree:
  
  After making changes, validate the DMEE tree to ensure that there are no other configuration issues.
  Use the "Check" function in the DMEE transaction to identify any additional errors or warnings.
  
  
  
  Test the Output:
  
  Once the configuration is corrected, test the output generation again to ensure that the error is resolved.
