  The SAP error message PYC_CONT181 indicates that there is an issue with the DME (Data Medium Exchange) process, specifically that there is no Run Date and Run ID available. This error typically occurs in the context of payment processing or when generating payment files in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Run Date and Run ID: The error suggests that the system is unable to find the necessary parameters (Run Date and Run ID) that are required to execute the DME process. This can happen if:
  
  The payment run was not executed properly.
  The payment run was deleted or not saved.
  There was an issue during the execution of the payment run that prevented the creation of the Run Date and Run ID.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the DME settings or payment program settings that prevent the generation of the required parameters.
  
  
  Data Issues: There may be missing or incorrect data in the payment documents that are supposed to be processed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Payment Run: 
  
  Verify if the payment run was executed successfully. You can do this by checking the payment run logs in the transaction code F110 (Automatic Payment Transactions).
  If the payment run was not executed, you will need to run it again.
  
  
  
  Review Payment Run Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the parameters for the payment run (such as payment method, company code, and payment date) are correctly set.
  Make sure that the payment run is not in a deleted or incomplete state.
  
  
  
  Recreate Payment Run:
  
  If the payment run is missing or incomplete, you may need to recreate it. Go to transaction F110, enter the necessary parameters, and execute the payment run again.
  
  
  
  Check DME Configuration:
  
  Review the DME configuration settings in transaction OBPM1 (for payment medium formats) to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
  Make sure that the DME format you are using is correctly configured for the payment method and company code.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue. You can use transaction SLG1 to view application logs.
