• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_ABA314 - No level was assigned to sort field &1 ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_ABA314 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) in relation to the sorting fields used in the payment medium format. Specifically, it means that a level has not been assigned to a sort field that is expected to have one.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Level Assignment: The sort field in the DMEE tree structure does not have a level assigned to it. Levels are necessary for the DMEE to understand how to sort the data correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DMEE configuration might be incomplete or incorrectly set up, leading to the absence of level assignments for certain fields.
  Changes in DMEE Structure: If there have been recent changes to the DMEE structure or configuration, it might have resulted in some fields losing their level assignments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DMEE_ABA314 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check DMEE Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).
  Open the relevant DMEE tree structure that is causing the error.
  Identify the sort field mentioned in the error message (denoted as &1).
  Ensure that a level is assigned to this sort field. You can do this by:
  
  Selecting the sort field in the DMEE tree.
  Checking the properties or attributes of the field to see if a level is assigned.
  If not, assign an appropriate level to the sort field.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Sort Field Settings:
  
  Ensure that all sort fields in the DMEE tree have the correct level assignments.
  If you have multiple sort fields, verify that they are all configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration.
