• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT064 - Format mapping about to be rewritten has different parent (&1, &2) ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT064 indicates that there is an issue with the format mapping in the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) related to payment formats. Specifically, the error suggests that the format mapping you are trying to modify or rewrite has a different parent than expected. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch in the hierarchy of the format mappings.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Mismatch: The format mapping you are trying to edit or overwrite is associated with a different parent node than the one you are currently working with. This can happen if the format mapping was created or modified in a different context or if there have been changes in the structure of the format mappings.
  Incorrect Format Mapping: You may be trying to use a format mapping that is not compatible with the current payment format or structure.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the format mapping, you might be trying to access or modify a version that is not the one currently in use.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Parent Structure: Verify the parent structure of the format mapping you are trying to modify. Ensure that you are working within the correct hierarchy and that the mapping belongs to the expected parent.
  Use the Correct Mapping: Make sure you are using the correct format mapping that corresponds to the payment format you are working with. If necessary, create a new mapping under the correct parent.
  Review Changes: If there have been recent changes to the format mappings, review those changes to ensure that they have not inadvertently affected the hierarchy or relationships between mappings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific format mappings and their relationships.
  Testing: After making changes, test the format mapping to ensure that it works as expected without triggering the error.
