  The SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT013 indicates that a mandatory object (field) required for the payment format is not being populated in the output file. This typically occurs when generating payment files using the DMEE (Data Medium Exchange Engine) functionality in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A mandatory field defined in the DMEE tree structure is not being filled with data during the file generation process.
  The mapping in the DMEE configuration may not be correctly set up to pull the required data from the source.
  There may be missing or incorrect data in the relevant master data or transaction data that is supposed to populate the mandatory field.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check DMEE Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (transaction code: DMEE).
  Open the relevant DMEE tree structure used for the payment format.
  Identify the mandatory object (field) that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Ensure that the field is correctly mapped to the source data in the DMEE tree.
  
  
  
  Review Payment Data:

  Test with Sample Data:
  
  Create a test payment run with sample data to see if the error persists.
  This can help isolate whether the issue is with specific data entries or a broader configuration issue.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue is not apparent, you may need to debug the DMEE processing to see where the data is not being populated.
  Use transaction codes like SE80 or SE37 to analyze the relevant function modules or classes involved in the DMEE processing.
