  The SAP error message 3G745 indicates that the function group you are trying to access or modify is not within the defined customer name range. This typically occurs when you are attempting to create or modify a function group that is not allowed due to naming conventions or restrictions set by SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Function Group Naming Convention: SAP has specific naming conventions for function groups. Function groups that are intended for customer use must fall within a certain naming range (usually starting with 'Z' or 'Y').
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or modify function groups outside the standard SAP namespace.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict the creation of function groups to certain namespaces.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Naming Convention: Ensure that the function group you are trying to create or modify starts with 'Z' or 'Y'. If it does not, rename it accordingly.
  Use Transaction SE80: Go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) and check the existing function groups. Make sure you are following the correct naming conventions.
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify function groups. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to ensure you have the right permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or guidelines regarding naming conventions and customer namespace usage.
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe that the function group should be allowed and you are still encountering this error, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Function Groups: These are collections of function modules that are grouped together for organizational purposes in SAP.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE37 (Function Module), and SE11 (Data Dictionary) for managing function groups and modules.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message 3G745 and successfully create or modify the desired function group.
