  The SAP error message DMEE_ABA702 indicates that there is an issue with the DMEE (Data Medium Exchange Engine) configuration, specifically related to a reference node ID that is not found as an active version. This error typically occurs when you are trying to generate a payment medium or file using DMEE, and the specified node ID is either inactive or does not exist in the configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Node: The reference node ID specified in the DMEE configuration is not active. This can happen if the node was deleted or if it was never activated.
  Incorrect Node ID: The node ID being referenced may be incorrect or misspelled.
  Versioning Issues: The version of the DMEE tree you are using may not have the required node active.
  Transport Issues: If the DMEE configuration was transported from another system, the node may not have been included in the transport.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Node Activation:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).
  Navigate to the relevant DMEE tree and check if the node ID in question is listed and marked as active.

  Ensure that you are using the correct version of the DMEE tree. If you have multiple versions, make sure the one you are referencing is the active one.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the configuration was transported, ensure that all necessary objects, including the DMEE tree and nodes, were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Recreate Node:
  
  If the node is missing and you cannot find it, you may need to recreate it based on the requirements of your payment medium.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
