Import Message Definition into Transaction DMEEX

Step 1: Start Transaction DMEEX

Enter Transaction Code DMEEX into the command field and press Enter.

Step 2: Upload format definition

Select Format Tree -> XML -> Upload XML File or press Ctrl+F6. 

Select the file you wish to import. It may be necessary to confirm the SAP GUI security dialog asking permission to access the local file. The next pop-up shows information regarding the tree type and format tree name. 

Select Yes when asked if you want to continue assigning the tree to the SAP namespace.

Step 3: Adapt and activate format tree

The last step is to check the automatically created format tree, if necessary adapt and activate it. In the format definition file, you always receive all the elements in the maximum number of occurrence allowed (for example, 7x element AddrLine) as well as a pre-defined mapping of many fields to SAP standard table fields and User Exits in the FinSystems namespace (/FINSYS/). If certain items are not used in the maximum number or not at all, they can now be deleted. An addition of (non-technical) elements is not allowed, as this would affect the correctness of the format.

In order to avoid a warning because of missing documentation, it is recommended to copy the name of the format tree into the documentation field. However, this does not affect the functionality or activatability of the format tree - it works with and without documentation. These simple steps completely define your DMEE format tree structure. Now you can use the activated format tree in your outgoing payment customizing.
