  The SAP error message DMEE_ABA101 indicates that the format tree specified in the DMEE (Data Medium Exchange Engine) configuration does not exist. This error typically occurs when you are trying to generate a payment medium or file using a format tree that has not been defined or is incorrectly referenced.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Format Tree: The format tree you are trying to use has not been created or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration might be pointing to a format tree that is misspelled or does not match any existing format tree in the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Format Tree Existence:
  
  Go to transaction DMEE in SAP.
