  The SAP error message EPS100, which states "Payment scheme &1 does not exist," typically occurs when the system is unable to find a specified payment scheme in the configuration. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the processing of payments, creating payment runs, or when configuring payment methods.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The payment scheme specified in the transaction or configuration does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo or because the payment scheme has not been set up in the system.
  Incorrect Payment Method: The payment method being used may not be linked to the specified payment scheme.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, the payment scheme may not have been included in the transport request.
  Client-Specific Configuration: The payment scheme may exist in another client but not in the current client you are working in.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for payment schemes in SAP. This can typically be found under the path: SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Define Payment Methods for Company Code.
  Verify that the payment scheme you are trying to use is defined and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Verify Payment Method:
  
  Ensure that the payment method you are using is correctly linked to the payment scheme. You can check this in the same configuration area mentioned above.
  
  
  
  Create Missing Payment Scheme:
  
  If the payment scheme does not exist, you may need to create it. This involves defining the payment scheme in the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Check for Typos:
  
  Double-check the spelling of the payment scheme in your transaction or configuration to ensure there are no typographical errors.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported, ensure that the transport request included the necessary payment scheme and that it was successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Client-Specific Settings:
  
  If you are working in a specific client, ensure that the payment scheme is set up in that client. You may need to replicate the configuration from another client if necessary.
