• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT352 - First tree node (&1) has nodes on the same level ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT352 indicates that there is an issue with the structure of the DMEE (Data Medium Exchange Engine) tree configuration. Specifically, the error states that the first tree node has multiple nodes at the same level, which is not allowed in the hierarchical structure of the DMEE tree.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  The DMEE tree structure is incorrectly configured, leading to multiple nodes being defined at the same level under a single parent node.
  There may be a misunderstanding of how to structure the nodes in the DMEE tree, resulting in a violation of the hierarchical rules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the DMEE Tree Structure:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).
  Open the relevant payment format tree that is causing the error.
  Review the structure of the tree, particularly the first node and its child nodes.
  
  
  
  Correct the Node Configuration:
  
  Ensure that each node under the first tree node is properly structured. There should not be multiple nodes at the same level under a single parent node.
  If you find multiple nodes at the same level, you will need to either:
  
  Combine them into a single node if they represent the same data.
  Create a new parent node to properly categorize them.
  
  
  
  
  
  Validate the Tree:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, validate the tree structure to ensure that it complies with the DMEE requirements.
  Use the "Check" function in the DMEE transaction to verify that there are no further errors.
  
  
  
  Test the Payment Format:
  
  Once the tree structure is corrected, test the payment format to ensure that it generates the expected output without errors.
