How To Fix DMEE_PAYMFORMAT393 - Error in checks for node &1: argument &2 is not allowed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DMEE_PAYMFORMAT - Messages for DMEE Payment Formats

• Message number: 393

• Message text: Error in checks for node &1: argument &2 is not allowed

What causes this issue?

As the argument for the check condition, you have entered the reference
ID of a technical node that is defined as an aggregation node with
mapping to a target field.
This is not allowed because in this case, at the time of the check, only
the current sum (of all previously processed nodes) is used and not the
absolute sum (of all nodes defined in the aggregation).
You can only use an aggregation node with the mapping procedure No
Mapping in a check condition.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Create a second technical aggregation node. It has the same entries for
aggregation as the existing entry, but has 'No Mapping' as the mapping
procedure. It is only used as an argument in a check condition.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT393 - Error in checks for node &1: argument &2 is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT393 typically occurs in the context of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) when generating payment formats. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the DMEE tree, specifically related to the arguments being used in a node.
  Cause:
  The error message "Error in checks for node &1: argument &2 is not allowed" suggests that:
  
  There is a node in the DMEE tree that is expecting a certain argument or parameter, but the argument provided is either incorrect or not allowed for that specific node.
  This could be due to a misconfiguration in the DMEE tree structure, where the node is not set up to accept the provided argument.
  It may also occur if there are changes in the DMEE configuration that have not been properly reflected in the payment format or if there are inconsistencies in the data being processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the DMEE Tree Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).
  Open the relevant DMEE tree that is being used for the payment format.
  Identify the node mentioned in the error message (replace &1 with the actual node name).
  Review the properties and settings of that node to ensure that the arguments being used are valid and allowed.
  
  
  
  Validate Arguments:
  
  Check the arguments being passed to the node (replace &2 with the actual argument).
  Ensure that the argument is appropriate for the node type and that it adheres to the expected format and data type.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making any necessary adjustments, test the payment format generation again to see if the error persists.
  Use the "Test" functionality in the DMEE transaction to simulate the output and check for any further errors.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP documentation or help resources related to DMEE for specific details about the node and its allowed arguments.
  This can provide insights into what configurations are valid and how to properly set up the DMEE tree.
