Cause

This error occurred because ME11 which is a code as per Template Group does not exist in the system. It refers to ‘Confirmation Template’ which displays the preview for confirmations. To rectify this issue, we request you to please enable ‘print confirmation notification’ in Business Configuration settings under Implementation Projects in the First Implementation view. Once you have enabled the Scoping Question then please check rules for "Confirmation Template" under Form Template Selection subview in Input and Output Management View. It should be available now. Thereafter, you can navigate to the Form Template Maintenance and enter Template Group as ‘ME11’ to be able to select and publish the Confirmation Templates your business requires.
