How To Fix DMEE_PAYMFORMAT688 - Please check subtree of node &1 it contains child tree nodes

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DMEE_PAYMFORMAT - Messages for DMEE Payment Formats

• Message number: 688

• Message text: Please check subtree of node &1 it contains child tree nodes

What causes this issue?

A node was deactivated in the Parent tree.

System Response

The node has a subtree. Deactivation of the node caused also
deactivation of the subtree. Your Child node (a node created in the
Child tree) is part of the subtree, so it is also deactivated.

How to fix this error?

If you want the child node to be activated, you should activate the
deactivated parent node. If you want to have only the child node
activated, you can now move the child node to another place and
deactivate the parent note again (the best way is to use the Revert to
original button for this purpose).

Procedure for System Administrators

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