  The SAP error message DMEE_PAYMFORMAT680 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the offset specified in the mapping structure for a payment format. This error typically arises when the mapping configuration for the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) is not correctly aligned with the expected structure of the output file.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Offsets: The error suggests that the offset defined for a specific field in the mapping structure does not match the expected position or length of that field in the output file.
  Field Length Issues: The length of the field defined in the mapping may not correspond to the actual length of the data being processed.
  Incorrect Mapping Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the DMEE mapping tree, where the offsets for fields are not set correctly.
  Changes in Payment Format: If there have been recent changes to the payment format or the underlying data structure, this could lead to inconsistencies.
