  The SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT076 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the DMEE (Data Medium Exchange Engine) tree type you are trying to use. Specifically, it states that the selected tree type must have the category '1' (which corresponds to 'incoming files').
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to use a DMEE tree that is not configured for incoming files.
  The tree type you selected is set up for a different category (e.g., outgoing files or other purposes) rather than incoming files.
  There may be a mismatch between the configuration of the DMEE tree and the expected input/output type for the payment format you are trying to process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Tree Type Configuration:

  Modify Tree Type if Necessary:

  Create a new tree type that is specifically configured for incoming files.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Payment Format Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the payment format you are using is correctly linked to the appropriate DMEE tree type.
  Check the configuration settings in the payment format to ensure they align with the expected input/output types.
