• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT379 - Segment with reference ID &1 must have same level as segment &2 ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT379 indicates that there is a structural issue in the DMEE (Data Medium Exchange Engine) format configuration. Specifically, it means that a segment with a reference ID must be at the same hierarchical level as another segment, but it is not. This typically occurs when the configuration of the payment medium format does not adhere to the expected structure defined in the DMEE tree.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchical Structure Violation: The segments in the DMEE tree are organized in a hierarchical structure. This error occurs when a segment is incorrectly placed at a different level than expected. For example, a segment that is supposed to be a child of another segment is placed at the same level or vice versa.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the DMEE tree may have been altered or incorrectly set up, leading to mismatched levels between segments.
  Reference ID Misalignment: The reference ID specified in the error message does not match the expected segment structure, causing the validation to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review DMEE Configuration: Open the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE) and review the structure of the payment medium format. Ensure that the segments are correctly placed according to the hierarchical structure.
  Check Segment Levels: Verify that the segments with the specified reference ID are at the same level as the segment mentioned in the error message. Adjust the hierarchy as necessary.
  Adjust Segment Properties: If needed, modify the properties of the segments to ensure they are correctly defined as parent or child segments.
  Test the Configuration: After making changes, test the payment medium format to ensure that the error is resolved and that the output is generated correctly.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct structure, refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for configuring DMEE formats.
