AC594 - Details

  • The SAP error message AC594 indicates that the key of a variant (in this case, a variant for a report or transaction) is in the SAP name range. This means that the name you are trying to use for your variant is reserved for SAP standard objects and cannot be used for custom variants.
    
    Cause: The variant name you are trying to create or modify starts with a character or set of characters that falls within the SAP name range. SAP reserves certain naming conventions for its own objects, and any name that starts with specific characters (like "Z" or "Y" for custom objects) or falls within a certain range is not allowed.
    Solution: Rename the Variant: Choose a different name for your variant that does not conflict with SAP's naming conventions. Typically, you should start your custom variant names with "Z" or "Y" to ensure they are recognized as custom objects. Check Naming Conventions:
