• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT672 - Node &1 will be duplicated due to child subtree ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT672 indicates that there is a duplication issue in the DMEE (Data Medium Exchange Engine) format tree. Specifically, it means that a node in the DMEE tree is being duplicated because of a child subtree that is being processed. This typically occurs when the structure of the DMEE format is not correctly defined, leading to conflicts in the hierarchy of nodes.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Node Definition: The error often arises when a node is defined multiple times in the DMEE format tree, either directly or through child nodes.
  Incorrect Hierarchy: The structure of the DMEE tree may not be set up correctly, leading to a situation where the same node is being referenced in a way that causes duplication.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the DMEE format, such as incorrect settings or parameters that lead to the generation of duplicate nodes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the DMEE Format Tree: Open the DMEE format in the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE) and carefully review the structure of the nodes. Look for any nodes that may be defined more than once or that have overlapping definitions.
  Check Node Properties: Ensure that the properties of the nodes are correctly set. Pay attention to the "Parent" and "Child" relationships to ensure that they are defined correctly.
  Remove Duplicates: If you find any duplicate nodes, remove or consolidate them to ensure that each node is unique within the tree structure.
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the DMEE format to ensure that the error no longer occurs. You can do this by generating a sample output file to see if the issue persists.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the structure or configuration, refer to SAP documentation or guides related to DMEE for best practices and examples.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction code DMEE to access the DMEE format tree.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on DMEE configuration.
  Community Forums: Consider visiting SAP Community forums or other user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, as they can provide insights and solutions from other users.
