  The SAP error message DMEE660, which states "Node was deleted," typically occurs in the context of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) when working with payment formats or other data medium formats. This error indicates that a node in the DMEE tree structure has been deleted, which can lead to issues when generating the output file.
  Cause:
  
  Node Deletion: The most direct cause of this error is that a node that is referenced in the DMEE format has been deleted. This could happen if someone modified the DMEE tree structure and removed a node that is still being referenced in the configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: If the DMEE format is not correctly configured or if there are inconsistencies in the format tree, it can lead to this error.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the DMEE format and the wrong version is being used, it may reference nodes that no longer exist in the current version.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check DMEE Format: Go to the DMEE transaction (usually DMEE) and check the format tree. Look for any nodes that are missing or have been deleted. If you find any discrepancies, you may need to restore the deleted nodes or adjust the configuration to remove references to them.
  Restore Deleted Nodes: If you have a backup or a previous version of the DMEE format, consider restoring the deleted nodes from that version.
  Recreate the Format: If the format is too corrupted or complex, it may be easier to recreate the DMEE format from scratch, ensuring that all necessary nodes are included.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all nodes and their dependencies are correctly configured and that there are no orphaned references in the DMEE tree.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to DMEE for any specific guidance on handling this error.
